About this site
Violin Pinnacle lies off the coast of Oaxaca, Mexico, along the Pacific shoreline of southern Mexico near the Gulf of Tehuantepec. This stretch of coast is known for its rocky pinnacles rising from the seafloor, typically reached by boat from towns such as Puerto Escondido or Puerto Angel. It is rated an advanced dive, reflecting the exposed open-Pacific setting typical of these pinnacle sites.
