Sea fan at Pixies As its name tells us, this dive site is nothing more than a pinnacle. And a small one in fact which rises from 40 meters to the surface and is only 15 meters across. Diving is done by spiraling down around the pinnacle, until you are ready to spiral up again. It is not a big site, so take it easy and enjoy all the colors and life. There are many potato cods resting at 30 meter, stonefish, rays and white-tip sharks. Above the 30 meter line are many caves and overhangs, which are ideal for lionfish and moray eels. But there is also plenty of hard and soft coral as well as invertebrate life such as nudibranches.
