16-30+ metres. Very exposed pinnacle with steep walls and regular current. Awesome dive in blue water.

Aquatic Life:
Walls are covered with sponges, hydroids and ascidians that thrive in the passing current. Schools of blue and pink maomao, demoiselles, butterfly perch and trevally. Lots of red moki and leatherjackets feed on the encrusting life and the occasional kingfish or rarely shark or marlin may come past. Often a large stingray population cruises around the pinnacle.
Directions:
1 nautical mile south of the Alderman Islands.
