| Blue Maomao Arch is a dive site on Tawhiti Rahi (West) at the Poor Knights Islands, New Zealand. It's an Archway running parallel to Labrid Channel. It gets its name from the density of Blue Maomao often found inside. Sometimes so thick it's hard for the sunlight to penetrate from the large hole on the northern side, which produces some spectacular sunlight effects. Max depth inside the arch is 15 metres. The arch is in 7-8 metres of water and accessible to divers of all levels. Massive schools of Blue Maomao are accompanied by Kingfish, Snapper, Morays and Nudibranchs.
