Diving at dive site the Pinnacle is a mind blowing experience! As you descend the mooring line, massive schools of bait fish part, creating a funnel like passage to allow you through; huge Yellowtail King fish glide past with pride and resident Giant Black Rays swoop over head. The Pinnacle is a massive rock formation lying 'smack-bang' in the middle of the ocean and being one of the most unique dive sites in the whole of NSW, it is guaranteed that no two dives here are ever the same!

As you come to the end of the mooring line, you reach the tip of the Pinnacle and you're now surrounded by an amazing array of unique marine life. Scarlet Mowong dance on their tails, Lionfish flair their sharp spines, sleeping Wobbygong sharks lay in gutters and all the while curious Grey Nurse Sharks have begun lurking in from the distance, often in aggregations of 30 or more sharks! Nothing beats the feeling of being amongst these beautiful, majestic creatures.

Perfect For The Photographer: Find a vacant gutter to lay in, and if you can remain still for long enough, Grey Nurse Sharks will often swim right over the top of you and not even notice that you are there, giving you some real "up close and very personal" photo opportunities. Awesome photography to share!
