Dive-site story
Dixon's Pinnacle consists of several submerged rock spires rising from a sandy bottom off Havelock Island. The pinnacles act as an offshore oasis in open water, hosting active cleaning stations on top where pelagics and reef dwellers gather. Giant barrel sponges, soft corals, and sea anemones cover the upper ridges of the rock formations.
