Manta Arch at South Solitary Island is an advanced dive site in the Solitary Islands Marine Park, famous for its dramatic rock arch at 31 meters depth. The arch creates a spectacular swim-through where manta rays are regularly spotted during cleaning station visits. Grey nurse sharks also frequent the area, along with large schools of trevally and kingfish. The depth, currents, and exposed location make this an advanced dive, but the potential for extraordinary encounters makes it one of the most sought-after dives on the NSW coast.
