Best for intermediate divers, 20-36m, boat entry, moderate current.
L-shaped Arch is defined by its dramatic underwater architecture, featuring a cave system and a wall that drops to 36 metres. Located 1000 metres offshore from Irabu Island, this site requires boat access. Divers navigate through the arch and along the wall, where visibility typically ranges from 20 to 40 metres. Moderate currents are common, often allowing for a drift dive through the structure. Due to the overhead environment and depths averaging 25 metres, this site is suitable for intermediate divers with Advanced Open Water certification. Divers should monitor air consumption and depth closely, as the cave section can easily lead to depths exceeding 30 metres.
