The arch is around 24 meters in depth and is a fun dive for a novice or experienced diver. The archway is a swim through of about 20 meters and is approx 6-9 meters tall (depending on how much sand has washed in) it is not uncommon to meet up with a variety of big rays, Port Jacksons and very occasionally, especially around Christmas and January, the odd visiting GNS (grey nurse sharks).
The entrance and exit of the arch have a lot of growth. The Cave is located about 35 meters south of the Arch and is in approx 15 meters of water. When the GNS are in residence this is their normal abode. The heart shaped cave is about 20 meters deep and houses massive amounts of schooling bullseyes around the entrance. During the right time of year, it is not uncommon to have anywhere up to 50 or 60 PJ Sharks during their breeding season.
