One of our most emblematic dive spots. Reef like a  big  labyrinth  wall  with  white sand bottom all around. The reef come up till 6 mts, and  the  sandy  bottom at 12 mts. Completely full of all types of marine life, lots of schools of    fish when theres current ( almost don’t feel it at bottom near the wall), it’s a completely ‘must do’ dive.

Starting on a sandy descent with the reef on our left hand, we can spot a lot of biodiversity on a very calm and relax dive, where we can reach the 30 meters  and make the drop off with more experienced and low consumption Divers. On this dive spot we can be surprise with everything just need to maintain the eyes open looking around on a 360º, the dive ends on a sandy platform under the boat for the mandatory safety stop.

On the most into the channel cape, you can have a magnificent dive, full  of marine life, and a lot of interesting things to see, never forgetting one eye on    the blue. Sometimes, special when the moon changes we can find current, but   of course a lot of more marine life around. Bottom with a lot of rocks, like giant potatoes make shelter to an’amazing biodiversity of species.

At Porto Novo harbor, inside the port, we have a  shore  dive  with  easy  entrance and exit ( stairs ), where we usually do night dives, and during them   you can spot a lot of marine life that’s almost impossible find during day dives. During day dives, normally the major goal is  to  find  Frogfishs,  between  all  types of trash, from plastic bottles to fishing lines…

Quite small and nice wreck, and ancient vapor vessel, that we still didn’t find     the real name, and the function, but its like a work ship.
