Walking through the arches, it is easy to spot colonies of red coral, but also to assist the quick passage of big pelagic fish, like amberjacks, sea breams and barracudas. Rays of sunlight magically play among the arches and, along with the transparent waters, create a very suggestive image; perfect for capturing with your camera and video recordings.
