Frequently Serviced Dive Sites
★★★★☆ SS Marcar
With a maximum depth of 15 meters, the SS Marcar was a Liberty Ship built in the USA during World War II. The ship was suffering water leaks so it was stranded in Tarrafal, Santo Antão and later towed to São Vicente. In 1968 she sank in the Bay.
★★★★☆ Djeu (Ilhéu dos Pássaros)
Djeu is an islet located 3,5km NW of Mindelo, 5 min by boat from Porto Grande, where the lighthouse of Dom Luís is located. In this spot it is possible to do between 4 to 6 different routes, being a versatile spot suitable for different types of dives and the most varied profiles of divers.
★★★★★ Ponta de Nho Jon ( Shallow)
Located within the Bay, it offers excellent conditions; calm water on the surface, with good visibility, making it perfect for try dives, snorkeling, courses, and experienced divers. With a great concentration of life, it offers the possibility of “zigzagging” between the rocks, especially between 5 and 12 meters.
★★★★☆ Ponta Nho Jon ( Deep)
A 7,5 km de Porto Grande, 10-15 minutos de barco, é um dos melhores locais da ilha! Podendo atingir profundidades inferiores a 50 metros, com correntes constantes, por vezes muito fortes. É muito rico em espécies pelágicas, especialmente em torno do Pináculo (27m), que é adornado com corais.
★★★★☆ Fateja
9km from the center of Diving, Fateja or Tojoa. This spot is mostly run in drift style, with rocks on the right, culminating with a wall at the end with a cavity underneath. It can reach max. 22m, following a “gorge“ through the sand.
★★★★☆ Cabnav (Muck Dive)
Situado nos estaleiros Cabnav, é um local especialmente dedicado aos amantes do peixe-rã e mergulho nocturno. Excelente para cursos e experiências de mergulhos, devido à sua característica confinada: 3-10 metros. Protegido pelo cais e navios atracados, proporciona mergulhos tranquilos.
★★★★☆ Ninho de Guincho
On the northwest of the island, just 10 minutes by boat from Porto Grande, is the bay of Ninho de Guincho (named after the nests of this type of osprey on top of the rock). It is possible to do 4 to 6 routes in the same spot. Offering relaxing dives (5-12m) as well as more demanding ones (15-22m).
★★★★☆ Éder Márcio Leite Pereira
Located between the east and southeast of the back of Djeu, and further away from the islet, it can reach up to 40 meters, between walls and gorges. Similar to Ponta de Tubarão, you have to swim more into open waters, where there are chances of encountering larger pelagic fish, like around the islet.
