School of Barracuda

The Folau Pinnacle is the top of a seamount with a large summit area at about 15-20 metres, which then drops off steeply into deep water.  It is also known as Barracuda Bommie. The Princess II headed north from Lever Point and anchored near a submerged buoy on the pinnacle. The first thing we saw as we entered the water was a large school of barracuda. The best action was at the edge of the reef so we stayed around the rim at about 26 metres. We also saw a crocodilefish, several anemonefish, a large sea cucumber, many beautiful soft corals, and millions of tiny fish.
