About PillaarSteen

Pilaarsteen is a pinacle rock on the shore of a small island east of Padar Besar. Its best to enter just off the point below the rock where there is a nice wall then swim to the west where you will find an interesting dive through lots of caves and swimthroughs at different depths.It is particularly good at around 30-40 metersThis Dive is still quite good when other places have too much current.It can be affected by surge when a swell is running from the southwest. Large schools of fusiliers can be found here along a slope which is covered by an interesting variety of soft and leather corals. The landscape is really interesting and its not unusual to encounter sharks and the odd turtle.
