Seven Sisters Pinnacles
Dive site
Seven submerged granite pinnacles rising from 50 m to within 8 m of the surface, arranged in a loose arc roughly 2 km offshore. The sheer walls of each pinnacle are thick with red and orange soft corals, and the gullies between them funnel strong seasonal currents that drive plankton upwellings. Schools of barracuda and bluefin trevally orbit the tops; grey reef sharks patrol the mid-water between pinnacles. Oceanic whitetips appear in late summer. The site is liveaboard-only under current NEOM permit conditions and sees almost no diver traffic — fish show no fear response at all.
