How Hot is this Dive Site? click a star to rate it
Located just offshore from Nu’utele this pinnacle comes up to 3 meters and drops into the depths of the blue (below 40 meters). We found huge schools of fusilier fish, barracudas, Red tooth Triggerfish and larger predatory fish, for example Dog Tooth Tuna, Travelly and of course a couple of grey reef sharks if you’re lucky! Small Eels are in shallower depth. This is an advanced dive as strong currents are regular. This dive is considered as the best dive in Samoa! Variation of diving while being stationary on top of the pinnacle or diving around the pinnacle. Max depth 40 meters. A 35 minute boat ride.
