Acerca de Macro Haven
Macro Haven es una inmersión macro en el área de Kota Kinabalu, dentro del entorno de Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, pensada para buscar con calma en lugar de cubrir rápido grandes extensiones del arrecife. Espera un perfil guiado en barco sobre una pendiente coralina resguardada, arena, cascajo y pequeños parches de arrecife, donde los buceadores pacientes pueden buscar nudibranquios, peces sapo, caballitos de mar, peces pipa, peces escorpión y otras criaturas marinas. El sitio se aprovecha mejor como una inmersión fotográfica a ritmo tranquilo: muévete despacio, protege el fondo y deja que el guía elija el parche más productivo según la visibilidad del día.
