About El Pináculo
El Pináculo is a compact rocky pinnacle off Aguadulce, known for easy structure, small-life density, and a short, simple profile. The top of the rock rises close to the surface, so divers can stay on the crown or follow the edges for a cleaner circuit over rock and sand. It is normally dived by boat with local support, and the best days are the calm, clear ones.
