Pinnacles close to Kuata in Fiji’s Yasawa Islands is a pair of steep sided bommies that attracts pelagics. These twin bommies drop down to about 25m, with the top of the tallest bommie sitting at about 12m below the surface. There is plenty to see all the way down, and open water divers need not go below 18m to see the best of it.
