Dive-site story
Rising out of the deep waters of Astrolabe Bay, this isolated volcanic seamount acts as a magnet for pelagic marine life. Strong ocean currents wash over the pinnacle, attracting large predatory fish and pelagic schools that circle the summit plateau.
Schooling hammerhead sharks gathering in the blue off the deep drop-offs
Massive aggregations of bigeye jacks and chevron barracuda circling the pinnacle
Prolific soft coral and sea whip growth covering the rocky plateaus exposed to current
