About this dive site

This dive site, known as Pinnacles, is celebrated for its stunning coral formations. These impressive structures—pillars, overhangs, and arches—were deliberately shaped to create a truly remarkable diving experience, drawing inspiration from the famous diving locations of Stone Town. The depth range at Pinnacles varies between 10 and 16 meters. It’s a vibrant habitat teeming with a diverse array of coral reef fish, including dusky sweepers, fusiliers, and delicate network pipefish. On a fortunate dive, you might encounter turtles gracefully gliding through the water, guitar fish swimming alongside the reef, and an abundance of fascinating nudibranchs.
