Diving Holidays in the Cape Verde Islands
Only nine of the fifteen volcanic islands that make up this archipelago are inhabited, and tourism is in its infancy. Now is the time to visit these unusual islands, that are just a four hour flight from Portugal. The island of Sal offers unique, tropical underwater scenery, unlike anything found on the West Africa coast or the Canary Islands, and more comparable to that of the Caribbean.
The seas are rich with sharks, tuna, dolphins and turtles. You will meet shoals of bream, triggerfish, rockfish and perch and then there is the unusual underwater flora. Not to mention the occasional Manta Ray that might be hiding amongst the massive rock formations, caves, canyons and walls. During March and April Humpback, and Grey Whales migrate past the islands.
