About this site
The Pinnacle rises dramatically from the ocean floor, a submerged volcanic spire teeming with life. Schools of barracuda and jacks patrol the strong currents, while colorful soft corals cling to the steep walls. Depth ranges from 15 to 40 meters, offering thrilling drift dives for experienced divers. Keep an eye out for reef sharks and occasional manta rays gliding past. Visibility often exceeds 30 meters in these clear Pacific currents. The site's isolated location ensures vibrant, untouched marine ecosystems.
