| COMMENTS : |
This submerged pinnacle descends from a flat top at 8m vertically on two sides to 22m at the seabed and can be circumnavigated in one dive. Its many cracks and crevices are always a delight to explore with colour and species cloaking its faces. Having dived it by day, and being only 10 mins from the dive centre, it makes an ideal night dive. |
