The site features a reef structure extending from the shallows down to 27 metres, with an average depth of 15 metres. Visibility is consistently 23 metres. Due to the presence of an overhead environment and the potential for currents to intensify rapidly, this site requires careful planning and current awareness. Boat access is required, and the site is suitable for night diving. Equipment rental and guided tours are available to assist with navigating the shifting water conditions.

Time your entry to hit slack water or the early stages of an incoming current, as the pinnacle produces its best marine life aggregations when flow is building rather than running hard. Equipment rental and guided tours are available, but this site genuinely benefits from going with a guide who knows when the current is about to shift.
