Official Eleuthera Harbour Island brings you more information on the Current Cut. Located in North Eleuthera, the Current Cut is a narrow passage of water with high tidal currents. When two different tides, one from the north-western side and the other from the south-eastern side, fight against each other to rise and fall, it results in the Current Cut. 

It is pretty fascinating to see how a tidal current can reach up to the velocity of 10 knots. The Current Island and the Eleuthera Island form the Current Cut. Divers and swimmers find this place quite amusing, while most of the people are afraid of it. 

The current cut is also one of the greatest dive sites in the world. It was mentioned among the top 10 dive sites. However, most people visit this place to view the unbelievable sight of the current cut and how the water of an ocean can act as a river.

If you are a swimmer or diver, then this place is a must-visit for you because diving into the tidal waters of the current is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You can also spend time in the sun and relax on the beautiful island while enjoying the most mesmerizing view. Apart from diving, you can also perform various water activities like snorkeling, swimming, and kayaking at this beach.

However, you have to follow proper cautions while you do it. Many people also travel by boat through this channel when the tidal current is lower and manageable. Even though there is not much to Current Cut, it is still a fascinating place to visit at least once in life. So, the next time you visit Eleuthera, don’t forget to make a stop at Current Cut.
