About The Arch
An arch-and-reef site in Culebra centered on a broad overhang and swim-through draped with coral and sponges. The route rewards slow exploration around the arch, with unusual submerged debris adding extra interest for divers who look beyond the main structure. Current can shift with tides, so the site may feel easy on calm days and more demanding when flow picks up.
