Acerca de Macaxeira
Macaxeira es una inmersión en pared mar afuera, con corriente, en el extremo norte de Noronha, donde la roca colapsada, una meseta cubierta de algas y un jardín de anguilas enmarcan la ruta principal. Es ideal para buceadores experimentados que buscan movimiento, profundidad y actividad de peces, más que una jornada relajada en arrecife.
