Macaxeira

Located in the Sea of Outside, this incredible place with up to 40 meters of depth, is in the extreme north of the island. The current is always present and leads the diver to the wall of collapsed rocks. After the outline, there is a plateau with many algae.
Often shoals of mackerel, horse mackerel, shrimp, anchovies and nail rays circulate. Besides the famous Eel Garden, we occasionally spot nurse sharks and lemon sharks.
