    Lavin, off Bohol, offers a solid wall dive that slopes down to around 25 meters. We usually find plenty of nudibranchs along the wall, often pygmy seahorses tucked into gorgonian fans, and some decent schooling fusiliers out in the blue. The currents here can pick up, so it's a spot best enjoyed by divers comfortable with drift diving, looking for macro life and pelagic glances.
