Four Kings

Four Kings is a group of submerged pinnacles joined by ridges, dived on Misool trips around the Wayil islands. The shallowest pinnacle tops out at about 7 m, others at 16 and 20 m, with the reef dropping to 40 m. Trevally, mackerel, large snappers and Napoleon wrasse hunt along the ridges, bumphead parrotfish graze the coral garden, and the sea fans at 25 m hide pygmy seahorses. Currents are strongest around full and new moon.
