PinnacleReef
Aviator is better approached as a longer moving scuba route than a stationary reef patch, with enough terrain change that local guiding helps keep the dive organized.
About Aviator
Aviator is a route-style Una Una dive that crosses a pinnacle, follows a wall, and then opens out over sand, giving the site more variation than a simple single-face wall. The fan corals and mixed hard structure make it visually strong, while turtles, blacktip sharks, pufferfish, and schooling reef fish keep the dive active as the terrain changes.
