Pinacle du 19 Novembre

Pinacle du 19 Novembre is where we head when we want some real exploration. Outside the main reef, you drop into a maze of canyons and faults, some wide open, others tight enough you feel the rock on either side. We love following the light beams as they filter through the overhead cracks, illuminating walls absolutely covered in gorgonians. It’s not about huge pelagics here, though a passing thazar or shark isn't uncommon. This site is all about the little stuff, the details. Keep your eyes peeled for those Zanzibar shrimps tucked into the whip gorgonians, and look for gobies peeking out from their anemone homes. We’ve spotted countless cowries, including the beautiful lined-lip variety, and even an Electric Flame Scallop once – its flashing mantle is quite something. With a max depth of 21m, it's a relaxed dive, perfect for photographers or anyone who likes to take their time poking into every nook. Just be mindful of the current, it can pick up a bit outside the reef.
