Middle Arch

Middle Arch is the mellow sibling of the Knights' famous slots, wide enough to feel like a boulevard and shallow enough for long, gas-friendly dives. Scorpionfish impersonate rocks along the walls, moray eels share crevices with crayfish in a reserve where both grow old, and the kelp fringe swirls with demoiselles and butterfly perch. Nudibranch hunters do some of their best work here, and a small side cave scribbles bonus dark corners onto the map. Guides use it as the all-weather, all-levels anchor of a Knights day, and it never feels like a consolation prize.
