Nudi Rock
A small island in the Fiabacet chain, about five minutes by boat from the Misool Resort jetty. The north side is a steep wall covered in soft corals; the south side is a plateau at 7–8 m where fish gather when the current runs, and a ridge links the site to neighbouring Tank Rock. Macro fans come for nudibranchs, pygmy seahorses, cowries and arrowhead crabs, while barracuda, bigeye trevally, groupers and Napoleon wrasse patrol the edges. It stays relatively easy to dive even when the current picks up.
