Arch

Arch is one of those sites that just feels good to dive. We love the way it opens up at five meters, then spills down to twenty, making for a relaxed multi-level profile. The name comes from the limestone arches and swim-throughs crisscrossing the reef, perfect for ducking through and checking out the crevices for a tucked-away lobster or a shy blenny. Incoming tide is our pick here; it cleans up the vis and brings in a gentle flow of plankton for the resident anthias and fusiliers, which can be thick enough to make you feel like you're swimming through a confetti storm. Keep an eye out for the Jebb's siphonfish, they’re often hanging out near the sandy patches. While the hard corals, especially the big table and staghorns, are impressive, it's the smaller stuff that truly shines here. We’ve spotted some incredible nudibranchs and gobies on almost every dive. It's a great site for divers who appreciate slowing down and really exploring the details of a reef.
