All are grouped within a radius of 150 metres so divers can explore in and around all of the peaks. Ms Riefenstahl, who was well into her 90s at the time, has written numerous books including picture series editions about coral reefs around the world. The craggy peaks are encrusted with a profusion of black and orange gorgonia, a full colour range of sponges, soft and hard corals giving the site a mystical feel. Diving the Pinnacles is done as a drift dive starting well east of the site with the boat following along above for safety and convenience. As divers proceed with the current they pass over an impressive field of finger coral bringing them into view of a cloud of fish surrounding one of the Pinnacles looming ahead.
Divers continue their drift encircling and weaving between the dramatic peaks.
The site is popular with divers of all skill levels. The lacy network of the nearly vertical Pinnacle walls provides shelter for trumpetfish, filefish, frogfish and seahorses. Larger fishes such as grouper, jack and snapper can also be spotted around the Pinnacles. Recently a group of adolescent manta rays were seen hanging out in the area. Whale sharks have been sighted as well.
