A seamount that is both a reef manta AND oceanic manta cleaning station, one of very few places both species visit, with up to a dozen circling at once in 15m. Nearby, Boo Windows, a coral island wall pierced by four holes you swim through with soft coral crowding every edge. Misool Eco Resort and the local Misool Foundation leased 300,000 acres from Papuan clan owners in 2005 and turned it into a patrolled no-take zone. Fish biomass inside rose an estimated 250% in a decade and shark numbers 25-fold, one of the fastest documented marine recoveries anywhere. Anchorage: Superb sheltered anchorages among Misool's karst islands; the Misool no-take zone requires permits. Hazards: No site-specific hazards noted, brief normally.
