Description

Explore the underwater world of Cape Verde with its caves, wrecks, and abundance of marine life on a beginner-friendly scuba diving excursion with an instructor. Discover sting rays hovering around local wrecks, shoals of fish sheltering in coral reefs, or turtles swimming nearby. Start with a short theory lesson to understand the basic rules of diving, followed by a pool session to get familiar with your diving equipment. When you are ready, go out for a dive into the warm blue waters. Keep an eye out for moray eels, turtles, and a wide variety of sharks and fish. In summer (June- November), get a chance to see turtles and spot humpback whales in winter (January-March). DAILY PROGRAM: - From 8:30-11:30 - A little bit of theory and practice in the swimming pool or confined water (Bikini Beach) - From 14-16.30 - Dive in the ocean by boat (between 30-45 minutes depending on air consumption)
