Access is by boat only, and divers should be prepared for moderate currents that can develop quickly around the structure. Visibility is typically between 5 and 10 metres. Maintaining good buoyancy is essential to avoid contact with sharp coral and rock formations. Divers are advised to check current conditions with their boat operator before descending and to position themselves on the upcurrent side of the pinnacle to manage their air consumption effectively.
