This dive site, known as Pillar Coral, features a prominent coral formation rising from the reef wall. The formation extends vertically approximately 120 feet, reaching a maximum depth of 90 feet below the surface. This area is notable for its deep crevices, often inhabited by Channel Clinging Crabs. Deeper sections of the site provide habitat for Sharp Nose Butterflyfish and Southern Stingrays, commonly observed resting on the sandy bottom. The presence of invasive Lionfish adds an element of interest to this dive location.
