Diver's Notes

16 Years since I have dropped down an anchor line onto "The Pinnacle". One of my all time favourite dive sites. Everything at this site is big! Big Sharks, Big Fish, Big Rocks, Big!

We were blessed with great visibility at around 20 - 25mtrs.

I dived with Ron Hunter and Malcolm Nobbs, only a couple of sharks in one of the gutters. A massive Black Grouper, Huge Kingfish, Mulloway, and big schools of baitfish.
