Baixa do Broeiro − Maroudi Inglessi is one of the more serious Estelas dives, combining a rich outer reef with the deeper remains of the Greek freighter Maroudi Inglessi. The route rewards experienced divers who are comfortable with depth, blue-water exposure, and current, with the reef dropping onto deeper structure where the wreck's boilers and hard bottom attract bigger fish and fast-moving pelagic traffic.
