Immense, stacked granite boulder pinnacle breaking the surface. Scattered smaller granite boulders around the main pinnacle. With a longer interesting swim through. Deeper on eastern side.

Surface rocks look like a bathing elephant when approached from the west, hence the name.

Currents can be strong here, larger pelagics can be seen like occasional White tips and Mantas. Good for macro as well, but the stuff is deeper and it can be tricky with the currents and swell.
