Boat access from Beloi and the current-sensitive profile make a local operator the practical way to dive Illicnamo Pinnacle.
Illicnamo Pinnacle is a boat-based outer-reef pinnacle off Beloi with a strong flow and a real current-dive feel. It suits confident scuba divers who want structure, moving water, and a remote island setup rather than an easy shore session.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Match the plan to the current, stay clear of boat movement on the run from Beloi, and treat the deeper outer-reef profile conservatively.
Access Restrictions
Best handled through a Beloi operator with current-aware timing; independent access is not realistic for a site like this.
Legal Notes
Follow local marine-protection rules and any Beloi or Atauro access fees or tara bandu requirements that apply on the day.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
