Great Cut

Great Cut at San Salvador is an advanced channel dive where powerful tidal currents rush between rocky walls, creating a natural funnel that concentrates marine life. The cut slices through the reef platform, with depths reaching 30 meters at the deepest point. Bull sharks, Caribbean reef sharks, and large groupers are regularly sighted in the turbulent waters. Timing the current is critical — slack tide offers the safest entry while incoming tides bring the best pelagic action. The dramatic topography and big-animal encounters make this San Salvador's signature dive.
