About Les arches
Les arches is a boat-accessed rock formation dive near Porto-Vecchio, where natural arches and passages cut through a gorgonian-covered reef ridge. It feels like a route through structure rather than a flat reef pass, with lots of rock texture and fish life to scan. The site suits divers who are comfortable with overhead-like features and want a slower, more technical-leaning exploration dive.
