A sweetlips holds still over a table coral with its mouth open, and small fish work through its gills and teeth. This is a cleaning station, and the fish come to it the way people come to a barber: they wait, they hold position, and they leave cleaner.
Around it is Misool: a pinnacle rising through the frame, soft corals hanging from the underside of the table, and behind, the fish life of a reef that has had nineteen years of patrols.
The current runs across all of it. Stay low and the topography shelters you; rise a metre too high and it takes you off the subject in seconds. Misool, Raja Ampat.
