The Labrid Channel flows between Archway Island and Aorangi Island towards Eastern Arch. The current through the channel can be strong on the surface with the wind, but it brings a great food source and is always full of fish. On the rocks and walls a myriad of nudibranchs can be found. An exciting place to dive
