Very interesting coral "spire" formations rise up from the bottom. I’m told you can see the bottom on a good vis day, but couldn’t when I was there, and I hit 91’

Must dive if you’re on a boat around Catalina!

This pinnacle is one of the best dive locations in Southern California. Trips here will will typicaly do three dives, two on the deep pinnacle and one
relaxing shallow reef dive. Its a great trip for wide angle and macro alike with
the large pinnacles and often sightings of torpedo rays, as well as tons of
nudibranchs and other small critters.
