Pillar Coral
★★★★☆
(526)
Another distinctive dive site, Pillar, as its name suggests, is a coral spire just off of the reef wall. The mooring is on the top reef at 35 ft / 10 m, but a very short swim takes you over the top of the spire which tops out at around 90 ft / 27 m. This site descends well beyond the recreational limits so watch your depth closely.
Expect to see lots of coral, sea fans, sponges, butterfly fish, angel fish, snapper, sweetlips, and some barracuda.
