    Staghorn Crest, off Mabul, offers a good example of the namesake coral, with extensive formations blanketing the reef. We often spot turtles here, slowly cruising between the coral heads, alongside barracuda and reef sharks patrolling the deeper edges. It’s generally a gentle drift, making it a nice spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed exploration. The shallower sections are great for photography when the light hits just right.
