Middle Arch
★★★★★
(270)
Middle Arch is one of the best sites for diving at the Poor Knights. The Arch bottoms out at 18m and slopes down to 30m+ on both the North and South ends of the Arch. There is also an interesting cave with an air pocket near the Southwestern entrance to the Arch.
You can expect to see: Large schools of patrolling Kingfish, Snapper, and Blue Maomao. It is also common to see large numbers of Long and Short Tailed Stingrays.
