Divers have likened the Blue Maomao Arch dive site to that of a Cathedral bottoming out to a mere fifteen meters. The Blue Maomao Arch is rightfully named due to the abundance of Blue Mao-Mao that can be seen here as they gracefully swim in large schools and is a favoured archway for learner divers due to the inner arch only being 8 to 10 metres deep.
Out in the Labrid channel where charter operators tend to anchor up is a great place to find Stargazers and Stingrays, as both seem to find this area favourable. Then by taking a west bound approach over a knobbly ridge coming to the portal of this arch it is usually possible to see from one end to the other. Then on other occasions this is not so easily achieved due to the enormous amount of fish that seem to blanket the inner arch over the entire length.
The Blue Maomao Archway offers an abundance of other marine life as well with the likes of the yellow Moray eels that will curiously follow you. Unlike the Great Moray that tends to stay hidden in the nooks and crannies peering out at passers-by. Upon entering or exiting the arch take a good look up at the boulders where you will see lots of brightly coloured Blennies and Triplefins sitting out on the rock surfaces flittering away when disturbed.
