Time to visit: April - September
Descending down onto the large rocks in a
depth of 9m (30ft) you will find the dive
site come to life. Alabaster sea cucumbers
with their feathery mouthparts occur in large
numbers, but are part of a more interesting
community scattered around rocks and boulder
corals, which are rich with multicoloured
Christmas tree worms and bivalve molluscs.
Heading west from the shallower pinnacle,
you will pass over a large sand patch with
a saddleback anemone fish haven. Be careful
that you don't disturb them with careless
finning!
Heading deeper to the west you will come across
the second and larger pinnacle that houses
big groupers, banner fish, titan triggers
and snappers.
Right at the far end of this site, the depth
goes down to about 20m (67ft) and there are
other smaller pinnacles leading you further
off. If you continue further about 100m (330ft)
west you will eventually come to the site
known as "Noname Pinnacle".
