Kona boat dive with lava arches, pinnacles, and pyramid butterflyfish.
Boat-accessed Kona site; the normal access path is a local charter.
A boat-accessed Kona reef dive with lava arches, caverns, pinnacles, and finger corals, Pyramid Pinnacle is known for the pyramid butterflyfish that gather around the structure. The site blends volcanic relief with rich reef life and rewards patient divers with layered terrain, fish activity, and small critter action. It is best enjoyed as a slow, exploratory charter dive rather than a quick swim-through.
