With 213+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, nurse sharks and sea turtles - Chris s Chimney offers some of Lighthouse Reef's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Chris’s Chimney is a deep pinnacle dive within Lighthouse Reef, making it a good spot for advanced divers. We descend to find a swim-through chimney feature that opens up to the reef wall. Look for larger pelagics cruising by, often a decent chance to spot Caribbean reef sharks and eagle rays here. It’s a site that rewards those comfortable with deeper profiles.
