The Caloura Arches are situated in a protected bay and between 5mts and 18mts deep. It is an excellent place for all types of dives, including snorkeling.
The top at 5mts deep descends to 16mts, where we can find one of the 4 entrances for the main attraction of this place: an imposing cave where we can observe shoals of fish, as well as some residents Groupers. The roof of the cave, on the other hand, is regularly filled by dozens of nudibranchs of different species.
