Acerca de Blue Maomao Arch
Blue Maomao Arch es una inmersión desde barco poco profunda en la Poor Knights Marine Reserve, donde un arco bajo se abre a un paso nadando iluminado por el sol y a densos bancos de maomao. Las paredes y los bloques rocosos del entorno están llenos de esponjas, invertebrados y peces de arrecife, así que el sitio se siente muy vivo incluso en un recorrido tranquilo.
