Dive-site story
Positioned off the eastern flank of Boo Island in Southern Raja Ampat's Misool region, this site features a dramatic underwater slope transitioning into sheer wall sections and massive coral bommies. Powerful tidal movements nourish dense fields of giant sea fans and soft corals along the contours. Divers drift along the current-swept ridge, encountering schooling pelagics and macro critters sheltered inside the deep reef crevices.
Extensive gardens of large gorgonian fans sheltering multiple pygmy seahorse species
Regular drift encounters with hunting trevally, schools of barracuda, and reef sharks
Dense clusters of yellow-mask angelfish, sweetlips, and fusiliers crowding current-facing bommies
