Arch is a boat dive in Rakiraki’s Bligh Waters, with tide-sensitive swim-throughs, strong coral, and a profile that suits most levels with a guide.
About Arch
An arch-and-swim-through reef in Rakiraki’s Bligh Waters, where coral-covered passages start in the shallows and work down into a broader reef face. Arch is a boat dive that suits most levels with a guide, especially when the incoming tide lines up the flow and opens the passagework. Strong coral color, gorgonians, and careful buoyancy make the dive feel more three-dimensional than the depth alone suggests.
