About this site
Pinnacle is a dive site off the Mombasa north coast of Kenya, covering a small area with a lot to see. Depths run from 18 to 35 metres, with a free descent to 18 metres, and the site is described as difficult to dive and for advanced divers only.
Big grouper, leopard moray, grey shark and whitetip reef shark are found here, and a large school of barracuda often shows up during the descent or ascent. The sea fans are very colourful.
