    CharacterPinnacle dive
    StandoutDramatic pinnacle topography

    Tower gives you a good chance to spot some larger pelagics, especially if you get lucky with a passing pod of bottlenose or even a whale shark cruising by. It’s essentially a sizable pinnacle dropping down a wall, offering a decent drift where you can just relax and watch the reef unfold. Look closely for the smaller stuff too, like the Halfspotted Hinds tucked into crevices and schools of Yellowtail Sweepers doing their thing. We find Tower is a solid choice for a second dive of the day, a nice easy-going option that still delivers.
