Celestes - Cocos (Keeling) Islands

Gee Six is one of those deeper pinnacles that requires careful timing. It sits right in the middle of a passage, so you’re looking at strong incoming or outgoing currents if you don’t hit the slack window just right. We’ve found the best approach is to listen closely to the crew briefing and be ready for a drift if the current picks up. Below 18 metres, the western side blooms with soft corals, sea fans, and impressive black coral trees. Keep an eye peeled for grey reef sharks, whitetips, and barracuda schooling in the blue. Visibility usually hovers around 18 metres, providing a good view of the action when the currents aren't too wild.
