Divers typically descend along the pinnacle wall before navigating southward toward the adjacent reef and swim-through systems that connect toward Japanese Gardens.
Granite pinnacle structure encrusted with hard corals and sea anemones
Expansive swim-through cave system situated southwest of the main rock
