Boat pinnacle with rocky steps and a deep profile.
Mercury Pinacle is a boat-dived Sardinian pinnacle with rocky steps, boulders, and old anchors among the structure. It drops quickly to deeper water, so it suits certified divers who are comfortable with a deeper profile while still offering a compact, easy-to-read route. Expect Mediterranean rock-scape, clear summer water, and fish life around the ledges and ridges.
