No Contest

No Contest is a ridge in the Balbulol area of eastern Misool, crowded with marine life, soft corals and overhangs. Nearby reefs offer pinnacles, swim-throughs and sandy plateaus, with colourful hard and soft corals in the shallows. Liveaboards often dive it in the afternoon and pick a night dive at one of the neighbouring sites.
