An air bubble at the top reflects a school of fish in the cave next to Middle Arch. It's quite possible to surface in the bubble, and breathe and talk (after a fashion). The bottom of the bubble is at 25 ft depth, so the air inside is compressed to about 2 atmospheres. The dive crew on the El Tigre said that the air was the collected breath of previous scuba visitors.
