Les Arches offers a series of swim-throughs and small caverns, making it a good choice for divers who enjoy overhead environments without deep penetration. You'll navigate through sunlit arches and tunnels, observing typical Mediterranean reef fish like damselfish and wrasse. It’s a solid site for intermediate divers looking for a bit of exploration.
