Shallow 12-15 m reef that links across to Pinnacle 2

M&M is a shallow reef off Una Una that runs between 12 and 15 m, with an easy route along it and no depth to manage. It is dived either as a relaxed reef in its own right or as the opening half of a longer run that crosses over at the end and finishes on Pinnacle 2.
Also known as M&M.
Where it is and how deep

The dive
The reef sits between 12 and 15 m and stays there, so the dive is spent at one comfortable level with nothing to descend to and nothing to climb. That makes it an unhurried dive rather than a demanding one: the route along the reef is easy to follow, gas lasts, and the whole profile is inside the range where you can stop and look at things for as long as they hold your attention.
The site is also a stepping stone. At the end of the reef the route crosses over to Pinnacle 2, so a dive here can either finish at the far end of M&M or continue onto the pinnacle and end there instead. Ask the guide which way it is being run before you get in, because the two versions use gas and bottom time quite differently even though the depth never changes much.
