About Secret Arch
Secret Arch is a boat-accessed Dominica reef with a small arch, rock ledges, and soft-coral color on a plateau that feels calm and scenic when the sea settles. The site suits divers who like a straightforward structure dive with good marine life, a little current, and enough relief to make the swim worth it. Barracudas and turtles are part of the appeal.
