Dive· Exuma Cays
The Washing Machine (Highbourne Cay dive site)
24° 42.6′ N · 76° 49.8′ W · approximate
A tidal drift through a boulder chute that starts in a 40-ft basin and spits you out at 15 ft, spinning you through the rocks on the current. The boulders shelter octopus, filefish, cowfish, nudibranchs and leaffish for anyone who can stop long enough to look.
Practical
40 ft down to 15 ft exit; entirely current-driven, so it must be dived on the correct tidal stage with a live boat picking you up downstream. Not a novice dive - buoyancy and a surface marker are essential. Arrange with a local operator who knows the timing. Distinct from Shroud Cay's surface Washing Machine.
