The Prony Needle is a truly unique geological formation. It's a massive hydrothermal chimney rising from the deep, formed by mineral deposits from hot water vents. It's a spectacular and otherworldly sight for advanced divers.
Features
A giant hydrothermal spire that rises from 38m to about 6m below the surface. The structure is made of limestone and other minerals. The dive is a multi-level spiral around the needle. A very unique geological dive.
