Misool House Reef

The house reef of Misool Resort is entered from the end of the jetty or from steps in the north lagoon. On a rising tide divers drift north through the channel, where the gentle slope turns into a steep wall covered in soft corals, gorgonians and sea squirts. Horse-eyed jacks and fusiliers school under the pier, large groupers live below the jetty and blacktip reef sharks patrol deeper areas. The sea fans host Bargibant's and Denise pygmy seahorses, and mandarinfish appear just before sunset. Walking epaulette sharks and many nudibranchs are regular finds.
