Blue Maomao Arch
深度范围指从潜点顶部到通常最大深度；"建议认证等级"是运营商通常要求的主流机构等级，并非法律规定。水流和能见度每天都会变化，请将这里的所有信息视为规划参考范围。
The arch does one thing and does it perfectly: blue maomao school inside in such numbers that the passage becomes a moving wall of silver-blue, parting around divers and sealing behind them. Light pours in from both ends, the boulder floor bounces it upward, and for a few minutes everyone in the group is inside a bait ball that has no predator. Around the edges, kelp and jeweled encrusting life carry the usual Poor Knights payload of nudibranchs, and demoiselles shoal where the arch opens to the sea. It is shallow, brief, and among the most photographed moments in New Zealand diving.
您此行的高光时刻: Wall-to-wall blue maomao, cathedral light through the arch, easy depth
地形地貌: Rock archway and boulder floor connecting two open faces of the reef
水流: Surge through the archway on swell days is the only real variable.
入水前须知
危险因素: Surge in the archway when swell runs; time the swim between sets.
保育: Full no-take marine reserve; the schools are this dense because nothing here is fished.
