Boo Point is a wall dive on the face of Boo Island in the Misool area, confirmed by sources as a sloping and steep slope contour dive to 30 meters — not a reef flat. It is adjacent to Boo Windows and typically dived together as part of the same Boo Island site visit.

Overview

The site features a slope transitioning to steep wall diving, draped in soft corals and gorgonian fans. Overhangs along the wall provide shelter for wobbegong sharks and epaulette sharks.
