Mioskon is an excellent Dampier site to dive on a rising tide when the entire southeast tip of the reef is covered with schooling fish. Hundreds of lined snappers usually cover the slop from shallows to 25m where the coral meets a sandy bottom. Giant travellies, schooling Barracuda, millions of fusilier. Bommies sheathed in northern Raja Ampat's signature purple soft corals shelter glassy sweepers and several species of Anthias.
