    StandoutDramatic pinnacle topography

    Pt Vicente Pinnacles offers a classic Southern California pinnacle dive. Expect to drop onto rocky structures, often decorated with gorgonians and anemones, where you might spot a friendly giant sea bass or various rockfish. Currents can pick up, so we’d suggest this one for experienced divers comfortable with drift. Visibility varies wildly, but on a good day, it’s a striking dive.
