Dakit Dakit Pinnacle is a shallow reef pinnacle.
Strong-current windows make local guide support the normal way to run the dive.
Small reef pinnacle off Malapascua with a shallow top and a short drop to a compact deeper crest. The site is a good fit for training-style dives because the top is broad enough to work slowly, but it is the reef structure and the soft-coral garden that make the dive interesting. Expect plenty of small-life hunting around the coral heads, with stronger-current windows bringing baitfish and pelagics closer to the edge.
