Dive Spot Guide•
Pinnacles
Pinnacles is a boat dive with bommies and a reef wall.
Short-boat Yasawa site with coral bommies, a sloping wall, and easy-to-read reef structure that suits scuba or freedive plans.
About Pinnacles
Pinnacles is a short boat ride from Barefoot Manta, where three large coral bommies sit beside a sloping reef wall and sandy edges. The site is easy to read, with overhangs adding extra habitat, so the best plan is a slow circuit around the bommies and a calm, well-timed pickup rather than a rushed straight line. On settled days it works well as a relaxed scuba or freedive outing.
