    StandoutDramatic pinnacle topography

    Cervera Shoal, off Bohol, is one of those sites that just keeps giving. The reef slopes gently from around 10 meters, dotted with gorgonians and whip corals, before dropping off a bit deeper. We’ve seen everything from schooling barracuda to pygmy seahorses tucked into the fans here. It's a relaxed dive, good for photographers or anyone happy to drift along and just see what turns up.
