The Pinnacle - Gizo & Western Province

The Pinnacle in Gizo is exactly what it sounds like – a standalone reef rising from the deeper blue. We’ve found it’s a spot where the pelagics often cruise past, making for some exciting wide-angle photography. Expect to see dogtooth tuna patrolling the edges and, if you’re lucky, a few grey reef sharks gliding through. The main structure is a nice home for schooling fusiliers and bannerfish, which adds a bit of colour. It’s a good intermediate dive, probably best for those who enjoy a bit of current and keeping an eye out for bigger fish.
