Current-fed Bligh Water pinnacles with soft corals, anemones, and fish life.
Boat access and tide windows make a local operator the normal way in.
Pinnacles is a current-fed Bligh Water dive made up of two adjacent pinnacles linked by a saddle. Soft corals, anemones, and healthy reef structure give the site a vivid look, while barracuda, trevally, clownfish, and other reef life keep the action moving on the reef and in the blue. It is best treated as a tide-aware boat dive where buoyancy, timing, and a comfortable pace matter more than trying to rush the profile.
