About Beachams Arch
Beachams Arch is a speedboat dive from Khasab in Musandam, usually run as a straightforward boat stop or drift-style run. It is similar to Cat's Eye but with a better chance of larger marine life, especially rays, turtles, moray eels, and busy reef fish over a sand-and-rock profile that can tighten up when tide and current line up.
