Golden Arch, also known as Cuttle Arch, is a very nice reef dive site.

The mark is on the eastern side of the reef, pretty close to an old cray pot. Turn right and follow reef like Castle Rock to a 10 metre long arch with Yellow Zoanthids underneath. Go through the arch and explore the reef scattered on the west side which is home to Giant Australian Cuttlefish and a family of Blue Groper. Almost certain to see White Barred Boxfish there as well.

The site is also known to fishing charters as a good spot for Kingfish.
