This dive site is named for three prominent rock pinnacles that create interesting topography, including small canyons and swim-throughs. The rocks are covered in a variety of hard and soft corals, providing shelter for a diverse range of Caribbean reef fish. It's a popular site for training dives and underwater photography due to its calm conditions and shallow depth.
