Maomao Arch

The walls outside the arch reach about 30 m while the inside shallows to just 5 m. Colourful invertebrates cover the walls, and dense schools of demoiselles, pink and blue maomao hover in the shaded passage. A cluster of big boulders and a small cave at roughly 20 m lie on the eastern side. Seafriends notes that a stiff current often runs through the opening, so divers should be sure they can swim back. Nearby Butterfish Cove in the same wall is described as a rich night dive.
