Remote twin-pinnacle reef dive on Great Detached Reef.
Twin Peaks is typically reached on far-north liveaboard expeditions rather than standard day-boat schedules.
Twin Peaks is a remote Great Detached Reef dive built around twin coral pinnacles that rise out of deeper blue water, with healthy hard and soft coral growth, sea fans, and open-water fish life moving around the structure. It is usually visited on far-north liveaboard itineraries, so the site feels wilder and less trafficked than the reefs commonly dived from Cairns.
