About this dive site
The main reserve channel dive inside Hol Chan Marine Reserve.
Hol Chan Cut is the classic channel through Hol Chan Marine Reserve where turtles, nurse sharks and eagle rays move between reef crest and seagrass. Outgoing tide can add current, so licensed guides plan the dive around slack or mild flow. It is separate from the Shark-Ray Alley snorkel stop but on the same reserve ticket.
Hol Chan Cut is the reserve channel dive; same licensed-guide rules as Hol Chan and Shark-Ray Alley, with tide-aware planning.
