About The Arch
The Arch lies on the south side of Bass Point in about 28 m of water. Divers can reach it from shore by swimming around from Bushrangers Bay, or visit it as a boat dive. The main feature is an arch/swim-through that is roughly 3–4 m high, with the height changing as sand shifts. Grey nurse sharks are sometimes present, and slipper lobsters may also be seen.
