About Barracuda Pinnacles
Barracuda Pinnacles is a north Cozumel boat dive built from pinnacles rising off sand, with current shaping the site and keeping the water clear. The profile is compact but lively, with barracuda schools, flying gurnards, shortnose batfish, eagle rays, and reef fish moving through the towers. It rewards steady buoyancy and a clean drift plan more than raw depth.
