N-Buoy Coral Head is a reef pinnacle located in Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands. This site features a compact, three-dimensional reef structure that supports various reef fish and invertebrates. Divers access the pinnacle by boat, encountering moderate currents that can intensify. Due to these conditions, the site is suited for intermediate divers who should plan their entry and exit to align with the water flow. Water temperatures remain consistent between 28 and 30 degrees Celsius throughout the year. Divers should maintain buoyancy control to avoid contact with the sea floor, where sea urchins are present. Visibility is variable, and local conditions should be confirmed before departure.
