Pixie Pinnacle is one of the signature dive sites in the Great Barrier Ribbon Reef, which features a 15m/49ft-wide coral column full of diverse marine life. The dive starts at the sandy base of the pinnacle, and then divers go up along the formation in an upward spiral. Divers should keep an eye on this unique chimney, overhangs, and abundant corals to see 7 different types of anemones.
