Cape Verde Travel

Underwater exploration is becoming one of the most popular activities in Cape Verde. Massive rock formations, caves, canyons, ledges and shipwrecks are home to a host of large fish, shoals of fish and lobsters, making exciting dives.

Particularly due to the location of the islands, there are shipwrecks of all types and age around the shoreline. Located off the shore of Sal are three wreck sites of varying depths, including the site of the 1966 freighter ‘Santo Antao’.

Established diving schools are available in the following locations: Santa Maria, Sal; Vila do Tarrafal, Santiago; Sal Rei, Boavista; Mindelo, Sao Vicente; Sao Filipe, Fogo. It is possible to pre-reserve the dives prior to travel. Instruction and the hire of equipment are available in all locations. Prices are available on request. Although tuition is available for a complete beginner. The underwater currents in the Atlantic Ocean mean that some of the best dive sites are sometimes inaccessible.

Important Note: Potential divers must be aware that there is not a decompression chamber on the Cape Verde Islands.
