About El Arco
El Arco in Cabo Tiñoso is a boat-access arch dive built around a striking rock arch and a mooring point on the formation. The route drops into a varied Mediterranean landscape of rock, walls, and sand, with algae and marine life becoming more noticeable as you move away from the arch. It suits intermediate divers who want a scenic landmark dive with strong topography and a clear plan around boat movement.
