    StandoutDramatic pinnacle topography

    Cathedral Tower, off Bohol, is a dramatic pinnacle dive. We drop down to explore the nooks and crannies of the tower itself, which drops to around 30 meters. You’ll find schooling jacks, barracuda, and plenty of nudibranchs on the walls if you look closely. It’s a solid choice for intermediate divers looking for a bit of vertical exploration.
