Pinnacle

Also known as: Nakhalat al Quseir · Habili Qaseer · Nakhalat Pinnacle

The Pinnacle is a coral tower whose top lies 5 to 6 m below the surface, and Don Questo states that it rises from a base at 65 to 70 m surrounded by far deeper water. It is small enough to circle in a single dive. The tower is covered in pink, yellow and red soft corals, and anemones sit near the top where divers do their safety stop. Fusiliers draw in tuna, and the usually strong current brings hammerhead, grey reef and whitetip sharks, with silky and thresher sharks also reported. Manta rays are occasionally seen.
