Figure 4: The fathometer profile of our dive site: Pinnacle #160, off St. Augustine, Florida. The flat plateau on top of this pinnacle is nearly ½ mile across. This is the only flat-topped plateau in this region. Most of the pinnacles are cone-shaped. The colors are added for ease of interpretation, with reds indicating shallower depths and blues depicting deeper depths. Image courtesy of Brooke et al, NOAA-OE, HBOI.
