Named after the famous French landmark — though this one is the Greek version, which is arguably even better… mostly because it’s underwater! Arc de Triumph is a dive full of drama, light, and marine life, offering surprises for divers of all levels.
The dive begins at a gentle 6 meters along a wall that slopes down to about 18 meters, leading to a plateau where the adventure kicks in. Advanced divers have the option to explore a hidden cave at 28 meters, tucked right under the 18-meter plateau. This small cave is teeming with shrimps, making it a lively little microcosm of marine life and a fascinating spot to observe up close. Following the wall on the right, divers reach a stunning drop to around 46 meters. Open Water divers stay at 18 meters, while advanced divers can explore deeper sections and the cave before continuing.
Soon, the famous underwater arc appears, about 10 meters wide and stretching from 10 to 22 meters — visible from afar before moving on to a natural tunnel. The tunnel, open at the top, starts at 19 meters and rises to 7 meters, leading to a plateau around 10 meters deep. Here, huge groupers often make their home, providing a dramatic backdrop to the exploration.
On the way back, the wall is on the left, and divers swim through the tunnel again, enjoying the magical play of sunlight filtering through the water. The dive finishes with a close encounter of the Arc itself, ascending through it to 10 meters while admiring the corals and marine life.
Snorkelers and Discover Scuba Divers can also visit the Arc, though the full under-structure experience is reserved for certified divers. With walls, tunnels, a shrimp-filled hidden cave, and a naturally impressive “monument,” Arc de Triumph offers a playful, memorable dive
