Chapeirao Faca Cega is one of the deeper chapeirao dives on Parcel dos Abrolhos, built around a massive coral mushroom threaded with swim-throughs and tunnels. The route circles the outer walls before cutting through connected passages where hard corals, parrotfish, and schools of snapper give the site its classic Abrolhos reef character.
