About Dayan

A hidden gem in the Misool area with stunning soft coral coverage and schools of sweetlips. Less visited than the northern sites, offering a quieter, more intimate experience. The reef is blanketed in vibrant soft corals that bloom in the current, creating an underwater flower garden. Large Napoleon wrasse and bumphead parrotfish are regular visitors, along with reef sharks patrolling the deeper sections.
