Natacha: boat pinnacle dive with gorgonians and sharks
Boat access and the channel approach make local operator support the practical way in.
Natacha is a boat dive on four channel pinnacles in the Bayes area. The site stands out for oversized gorgonians, schooling jacks and blue fusiliers, and sharks are known to cruise the area. It suits divers who want a scenic open-water layout rather than a sheltered reef, and the longer boat approach rewards relaxed buoyancy and unhurried route planning.
