Plantation Pinnacle: Mamanuca boat dive with swim-throughs
Local operator required
Boat-only dive from the Plantation Island / Malolo area, so plan on a local operator or resort boat.
Plantation Pinnacle suits a guided boat dive from the Plantation/Malolo area, with a shallow top for newer divers and a fuller loop for experienced ones.
About Plantation Pinnacle
Plantation Pinnacle is a Mamanuca boat dive off Plantation Island and Malolo Lailai, known for three pinnacles, swim-throughs, and a photogenic clownfish garden. The route works as a slow loop around the bommies, starting on the shallow crown and working down the outer faces for sharks, barracuda, lionfish, and dense reef fish. It is best on guided boat days when the sea is calm and the island shelter keeps the site easy to read.
