Day 8 – Warokaraket – Boo Island
Shadow Reef, Jamur Boo, Yellit Kecil or Besar + Night Dive
Boo Rock or Jamur Boo is known for the “windows” or rounded openings on the end of the largest rock that completely pierce the reef from the surface down to five meters deep.

Reef sharks, parrotfish, surgeonfish, schooling batfish, fusiliers, snappers, and moray eels are all found here, as well as a wide variety of nudibranchs, unicornfish, octopus, and green turtles.
Yellit Kecil’s (whilst sharing all of the attributes of its neighboring sites) main characteristic is the large number of nembrotha nudibranchs that can be observed on the ridge.

Both are incredible dive sites full of schooling fish, including fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. The reefs are adorned in sea fans, soft corals and orange elephant ear sponges.
