To dive in Cape Verde means discovering a uniquely diverse mix of tropical and Mediterranean marine life. You may find shoals of fish in open water or sheltering in coral covered undercuts in volcanic walls alongside raiser lazily hovering in and around local wrecks. The underwater world of Cape Verde can satisfy the more demanding divers with caves, deep walls and wrecks and the tremendous abundance and variety of marine life.

Cabo Verde Dive School provided an excellent service from start to finish. All of the staff were very friendly. The dive brief was clear and the guides were very helpful on the boat. Amazing dive spots seeing turtle, nurse shark, lots of stingray and pufferfish and a good wreck dive. Thank you so much for such a great experience and would definitely dive again with Cabo Verde Dive School.

I can’t highly recommend these guys enough, what a great dive team. As someone who just passed the open water course in April 2024 in Scotland and only dived as part of the course, this was my first recreational dive and first dive abroad. I was a little nervous but the team at Cabo Verde diving put me at ease straight away. From the pick up at the hotel I was made to feel welcome and the guys who checked me in for the dive welcomed me like an old friend and put me at ease. It was an easy process from filling in paperwork to getting the dive equipment I needed - suit, fins, bcd regs - to getting to the dive boat. The dive sites we went to were amazing, visibility was incredible. We dived 3 Grotes (3 caves), santa antao wreck (twice) and Farrol. (I went on 2 dive days). Plenty to see on the dives, highlights for me were the pufferfish school at Santa Antao and the turtle at 3 grotes - that has to be one of the best moments I have ever experienced. I have it on video as well which i am delighted about. I have plenty of photos of the pufferfish also. We seen rays and nurse sharks under some of the rocks, however I couldn’t get a decent photo of them which is unfortunate. I will definitely be back to dive with these guys again and would recommend if you are ever in Sal for diving, they are the people to go with. Thank you for an amazing dive experience!!
