A Wide, Light-Filled Arch
The defining feature of Moors Arch is its broad, naturally lit opening carved into the reef. The arch is spacious and easy to navigate, offering a gentle swim-through without overhead restrictions. Light filters through the structure, creating a striking contrast between the arch silhouette and the surrounding reef.
Comfortable Depth and Easy Conditions
The site ranges from 14 to 20 m, with the arch itself sitting in the mid‑section of the slope. Conditions are generally calm, and currents are mild, making the dive accessible in most weather. The open layout and clear visibility typical of the northern coast add to the site’s ease and enjoyment.
Reef Life Around the Arch
The arch and surrounding coral blocks host a variety of reef species, including butterflyfish, snappers, wrasses and small groupers. Macro enthusiasts can find nudibranchs, shrimps and scorpionfish among the rocks, while the sandy patches attract garden eels and flounders. The mix of structure and marine life makes the site rewarding for all levels.
A Relaxed Dive with a Scenic Highlight
Moors Arch is ideal for divers who enjoy natural formations without the intensity of cavern or deep‑reef environments. Its combination of accessibility, good visibility and a distinctive arch feature makes it a popular and memorable northern‑coast dive.
