Boo Windows
A small rock in the Boo chain, about 15 minutes from Misool Resort, is pierced by two openings near the surface that frame the blue water. The usual plan follows the slope and walls down to about 25 m, past schools of red-tooth triggerfish, fusiliers, batfish and sweetlips. Reef sharks and wobbegongs are regular, and barrel sponges hide hairy squat lobsters. The south-west face is exposed, so the current can range from barely noticeable to strong around full moon.
