The Pinnacle is a boat-only shark pinnacle off Ndokendoke Island.
The Pinnacle is an offshore shark pinnacle off Ndokendoke Island in Munda waters, with a coral-encrusted summit and steep drop-offs that pull you straight into bluewater. It is a boat-only, experienced-diver day built around current-aware lines, strong coral cover, and regular big-animal passes when the sea is settled. Plan it for calm weather rather than casual drop-in diving.

Scuba Diving
Advanced boat dive on a deep offshore pinnacle with a coral top, steep walls, and a current-aware plan.
Freediving
Only for very experienced depth divers with support. The useful structure starts deep, so this is not a casual freedive reef.
Snorkeling
Not a practical snorkel site; the top begins too deep for normal surface snorkeling.
