Explore Cape Verde
Cape Verde offers an exceptional diving experience thanks to its unique location and diverse marine environments. Nestled below the Canary Islands, this archipelago of ten volcanic islands presents a stunning underwater landscape. Divers can explore a variety of sites, including vibrant coral reefs, dramatic walls, and intriguing wrecks. The islands are home to a rich array of marine life, from colorful tropical fish to larger species such as manta rays and sharks. Each dive promises encounters with Cape Verde’s distinctive underwater ecosystems, offering exciting and rewarding experiences for divers of all skill levels. A popular dive destination is Sal Island, the main flight hub, offering easy access to some of the country's best dive sites. The islands' warm waters, ranging from 22°C–27°C/72°F–81°F, provide excellent conditions for both shore and boat dives. Seasonal changes bring different marine visitors, with humpback whales often spotted between March and May. Beyond the water, the islands' volcanic origins create intriguing landscapes that extend below the surface, making each dive a journey into Cape Verde's geological past. English-speaking dive operators ensure that international divers feel welcome, adding to the ease and enjoyment of exploring Cape Verde's underwater wonders.
