Misool (Boo Windows y Magic Mountain)
Indonesia · Southern Raja Ampat, West PapuaMisool is the least visited of Raja Ampat's four main islands and holds some of the richest reefs in the Coral Triangle. Boo Windows takes its name from two openings in the rock that pierce the pinnacle and frame the blue. Magic Mountain is a seamount with a plateau at around 15 m that works as a manta cleaning station and is spectacular even when they fail to show. The Fiabacet area completes the classic trio.

Es una de las historias de conservación más citadas del sudeste asiático: la reserva impulsada desde Misool ha permitido recuperar poblaciones de tiburones y peces grandes en una zona antes muy castigada por la pesca. El tráfico de liveaboards sobre los dos puntos más famosos está coordinado para repartir la presión.
