The major talking point at Prony Bay is, of course, its needle: a gigantic chimney 38 metres deep!

This gigantic chimney is not a coral formation but was created when a surge of fresh water formed at a depth of 38 metres and rose to 2 metres below the surface. Think of it as a mineral cathedral produced from the depths of the sea.
Today it is a popular diving spot: the fish quite enjoy the heat released from the cavity. The needle continues to grow as it produces its limestone matrix. As well as housing a thriving community of bivalves, the site is a spawning ground for loaches in November.
You can also explore this exceptional underwater dive site with your snorkel, mask and fins!
