The Arch dive site is also located at Cape Zafer directly off of the tip of the Karpaz peninsula. This site is about 2.5 miles out in the open sea and hence diving can be very weather dependent. As you proceed over the edge of this plateau top you drop down to about 35 meters where the entrance to the Arch will be visible. As you fin through the Arch you can swim through the top at around 21 meters. The visibility at this dive location is impressive.You may have the pelagic encounter of a lifetime for Mediterranean waters, many shrimps and red scorpion fish. We have observed pilot whales, very large blue fin tuna, migrating sea turtles and even seals. Now proceed over the edge of the wall and go approximately 50 meters. You will find an old anchor at 28 meters hanging from the rock wall. The anchor is about 2 meters in length so you should he able to locate it easily.
