Blue MaoMao Arch
★★★★★
(205)
Blue Maomao Arch is known as one of the best dive sites in New Zealand, and possibly the world. The arch is best dived later in the day with the afternoon sun illuminating the site. The Arch itself is at most 15m deep, however, the depth drops to 20m+ at the eastern end.
You can expect to see: countless Blue Maomao, hundreds of demoiselles, Wrasse, Kingfish, Inquisitive Snapper, and a seemingly endless amount of other fishes.
