Pixie Pinnacle

Pixie Pinnacle packs a wall dive's worth of decoration onto a column you can circle in minutes. Gorgonian fans and soft corals crowd the flanks, clouds of glassfish smoke around the ledges with lionfish gliding through them at hunting speed, and anemones stud the tower from base to tip. The game is to ascend in slow loops, torch into every crevice: flatworms, shrimp, pipefish, and nudibranchs reward the patient. Near the top, fairy basslets shimmer over the coral in the last of the light, making the safety stop the prettiest three minutes of the day.

اللحظة التي جئت من أجلها: Glassfish clouds with hunting lionfish, gorgonian-covered flanks, superb crevice life on one tower

التضاريس: Slender coral tower near the Ribbon Reef No. 10 pass, base around 30 m

التيار: Sheltered enough for an easy ascent profile on most days.

المخاطر: Easy to sink deeper than planned off the base; watch the gauge while circling.

نيتروكس: يستحق الأمر هنا: الملفات الشخصية تقع في النطاق الذي يُمدّد فيه الهواء المدعّم (نيتروكس) وقت الغوص دون توقف تمديدًا ملموسًا، مع التدريب اللازم لاستخدامه.
