    Out in Sulawesi, the site simply known as Pinnacle often delivers exactly what the name suggests: a lone column rising from the deep. We’ve found the currents here can be a bit shifty, so it’s worth checking conditions before you jump, but that movement often brings in some interesting pelagics, though we mostly focus on the reef residents. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff like dwarf morays tucked into crevices and the vibrant flash of six-line wrasse darting between the corals. It’s a good spot for a drift dive if the current is running, best suited for divers who appreciate the subtle details and aren't afraid of a bit of a ride.
