Approximate position from published sources.
The top of the pinnacle sits around 7–8 m and slopes away past 30 m, with fish schools and cleaning stations in the shallows and bigger pelagics deeper. Divers start on the lee side, work along the slope, and return to the plateau of bommies for a long safety stop while watching for mantas. In strong current a reef hook on the plateau is common. Raja Ampat marine park permit and visitor ticket apply.
Advanced divers; reef hook recommended
