Dhigurah Arches
Part of the long reef at Dhigurah island in South Ari, named after the natural coral arches and small swim-throughs along the reef slope. The arches are decorated with colourful soft corals and attract schools of fusiliers, snapper and soldierfish, with moray eels, turtles and occasional reef sharks.
