Diver's Notes

Dived along a reef wall where i saw a Spotted Moray Eel,Flounder and large Stonefish.Swam through an archway formed of coral which gives the site its name.Also encountered for the first time a cold thermocline where a cold water surge intermingles with warmer water and creates a shimmering effect.Also experienced two strong cross-current surges.
