Insider’s View

Cape Verde is a small archipelago and island country in the central Atlantic Ocean made up of 10 ten volcanic islands northwest of the coast of Africa. Discover by the Portuguese around the 1450’s Cape Verde was uninhabited so you will see strong Portuguese influence as well as African and Brazilian in the buildings, music, fashion and food.

Boasting long sandy beaches, lively surf, quaint towns, modern hotels, superb diving and with the bonus of only a six-hour flight away from the UK with year-round good weather it is fast becoming a hot spot tourist destination and even more so within the diving community.

As an emerging destination we can currently offer trips to the most popular island Sal. Here you can discover vibrant, cobbled towns like Santa Maria on the southern shores and uncover, traditional restaurants, a variety of shops, al fresco cafes, all buzzing with life.

The diving in Cape Verde is truly special and magical. The fact that Cape Verde’s diving is still in its infancy stages allows you to really discover and explore a plethora of marine life and a variety of underwater environments. Be prepared for up close and personal encounters with a variety of sharks and turtles including hammerheads, lemon sharks, tiger sharks, leatherbacks, and hawksbills and much more.
