Pinacle d’Actineria: sheltered reef dive with tunnels and pinnacles.
Pinacle d’Actineria is a reef-side pinnacle dive outside the reef, sheltered from trade winds and built around faults, small tunnels, and pinnacles. It is a compact architecture dive that rewards calm buoyancy, with reef structure and gorgonian-covered features making the underwater shape of the site the main attraction.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Small tunnels are present; maintain appropriate clearance and buoyancy in overhead areas.

Scuba Diving
Scuba is the core use here, with outside-reef architecture that rewards calm buoyancy and careful route-finding.
Freediving
Freediving is not the preferred mode; the site is better handled with scuba and a guide.
Snorkeling
This is not a snorkel-first site; the structure and tunnels sit below the surface.
