Pinel - Sandy Island

Pinel, near Sandy Island, is a straightforward, shallow dive, perfect for newer divers or a relaxed second tank. It’s mostly sand, though you’ll find small patch reefs scattered around holding a decent number of juvenile fish. We’ve spotted stingrays here, sometimes tucked under the sand, and it’s a good spot for macro if you take your time. At 9 meters, it’s a gentle drift.
