Ross,
I entered that one pinnacle in my unit as pinnacle 3 (for now). I'll put a final name on it after I dive it. The way it looks on the chart and the depths around it I might call it the Totem Pole.
That is an amazing chart you have there! What is it and where can I get one?
The Ice Cream Cone is in fact where it's marked. What it is is a Rock mound that has a dome shape and as you get down to the lower areas there are some fringing rocks sticking up around it so it resembles scoop of ice cream like one dispensed from a classic scooper. The top is in exactly 18 feet of water and the base gets to about 72 feet at the deepest part. You can get around the perimiter in one dive. It is a good beginner?intermediate dive because it is protected.
