Volcanic drift dive linking outer and inner seas.
Volcanic drift dive linking outer and inner seas.
Buraco das Cabras is a shallower volcanic-rock route that usually starts in the Mar de Fora and drifts through to the Mar de Dentro, so the dive feels more like a moving tour than a static reef stop. Turtles, rays, surgeonfish, and feeding schools use the rock contours, corals, and sponges along the route, making it one of Noronha's better mid-depth current dives when conditions line up.
