2 Mile Reef Pinnacles

The Pinnacles at 2 Mile Reef feel like a secret garden, even if everyone knows about them. We love a shallow dive where you can just drift and really *look*. This whole area is a maze of coral towers, some rising to within six metres of the surface. Our favourite, the "Old Woman Pinnacle," is a proper landmark, a really substantial piece of reef covered in blueskin and goldies, with bannerfish always hanging around its edges. You’ll want to take your time here, maybe do a slower kick cycle, because the real magic is in the cracks and crevices. We’ve found peacock mantis shrimp here, their eyes always twitching, and spotted hawkfish perched on top of stony corals, ready to dart into the shade. Look out for whitetip reef sharks too, often just resting on the sand patches between the pinnacles. It’s an ideal spot for macro fanatics and photographers, or anyone who just wants a relaxed, colourful dive without the pressure of depth. The visibility here is usually great, letting sunlight really drench the corals.
