Dicksons Pinnacle is an offshore Havelock dive built around three coral-covered pinnacles, steep walls, and a blue-water route that rewards careful navigation. The site suits experienced divers who can manage depth, current, and short bottom times, with guided boat access, cleaning-station activity, and the chance of larger visitors when conditions line up.

Site conditions, restrictions, and access requirements.
Site Conditions
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; a guide familiar with the pinnacles is recommended because the site is deep, current-sensitive, and best suited to experienced divers.
Legal Notes
Follow operator briefing, boat procedures, and local offshore rules; this is a guided open-water dive rather than an unsupervised shore entry.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Three steep pinnacles, coral-covered tops, and a deep profile make this a classic advanced boat dive with short bottom times and lots of movement in the water.
Freediving
Not a freedive-oriented site; the depth profile and boat logistics make this a scuba dive for experienced divers.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel site; the pinnacles and main marine life sit too deep for casual surface viewing.
