About Brewers Bay Pinnacle

Brewers Bay Pinnacle rises from the sandy bottom off the north coast of Tortola. The pinnacle is covered in corals and sponges and attracts turtles, stingrays, barracuda and dense schools of reef fish. Sheltered from the prevailing swell in the summer months, it offers easy, colorful diving close to shore. It is a relaxed site that suits all experience levels.

Conditions & Currents

Guides normally rate the water movement here as mild current. Dive profiles here run between roughly 8 and 20 metres, so plan your gas and no-decompression limits around the deeper part of the site. It is usually briefed as a dive for beginner divers. The site is reached by liveaboard, so entries are run from the tender or straight off the back deck. Tide, wind and season all shift the picture from day to day, so the crew's briefing on the boat always overrides any general description.

Why dive Brewers Bay Pinnacle from a liveaboard?

Brewers Bay Pinnacle is one of British Virgin Islands's signature dive sites. A liveaboard sleeps you on the water and puts you in the water for three to four guided dives per day, including dawn and night dives that day-boat operators rarely offer. You skip the daily commute back to port and reach quieter, less-crowded sites in the same region on a single trip.
