About this spot

Pinnacle Point is a dive site in the Philippines open to diving throughout the year. The site has generated five species observations from divers, giving visitors insight into the marine life they may encounter. Community-contributed videos provide real footage of conditions and wildlife, helping you prepare for your dive. The site sits outside a marine protected area, so check local regulations before planning your trip. Current coral bleaching status warrants attention; conditions may vary seasonally, so review recent reports from the diving community. The site's popularity among local divers suggests reliable access and established dive routes. Pinnacle Point works well for divers seeking year-round access without seasonal closures. Use the available community data—videos and species logs—to understand what marine life you're likely to see and what gear suits the conditions. Connect with local operators or dive shops in the Philippines for current water conditions, depth profiles, and any permits required.
