Snorkelling

Not a snorkel site - Not generally viable - pinnacles start around 12 m and are a boat-dive site, too deep for effective snorkeling

Safety notes

Locally strong currents around pinnacle tops; boat traffic at surface moorings; depth variation across the five pinnacles requires good buoyancy control
