Dicksons Pinnacle
Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including dugongs, sperm whales, spinner dolphins, nautiluses and pufferfish - Dicksons Pinnacle offers some of Andaman Islands's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Dicksons Pinnacle sits out there in the blue, a solitary tower rising from the seabed. We usually drop onto the top at around 18 metres, then spiral down to its base at 28. Keep an eye out for larger pelagics cruising by; we've seen dogtooth tuna darting past the edges here, and sometimes a grey reef shark makes a lazy pass. It’s an intermediate dive, the kind where you drift around the structure, watching the schools of fusiliers swirl, and it's a good spot for those who enjoy a bit of current and open water.
