About L Arche
L Arche is a boat dive in the Bay of Diamant where a natural arch cuts through the plateau and opens onto a sandy bank and steep wall. The route is compact but layered, with the arch, nearby blocks, and the return across the plateau shaping the dive. Coral, gorgonians, and sponges cover the structure, and the site is known for snappers, wrasses, barracuda, rays, turtles, and lobsters. The wider bay can still carry current, so the dive rewards steady buoyancy and controlled boat discipline.

Local Intel For L Arche
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Scuba divers can pass through the arch and continue along the shelf toward deeper water and boulder areas.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the arch and wall suit scuba boat dives.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is secondary here; the main features sit deeper than a casual snorkel can cover.
