I usually dive a lot in the Canary Islands, so I already had an idea of what the dive sites in the Atlantic were like. Diving around Santo Antao is different and beautiful nonetheless—I really enjoyed it. Nurse sharks, pufferfish, sea turtles, lots of trumpetfish and filefish, conger eels, black corals… and there’s an abundance of other fish, too! We were a small group, and Ricardo went above and beyond to ensure everyone had the best experience possible. The boat and equipment, the briefings, and the guiding were all perfect for me—I’d love to go back! We dive in the morning because the wind gets too strong afterward. Thanks also to Ricardo for going above and beyond to arrange a guide for exploring the island :-)!

Very beautiful dive sites with caves and passages. The volcanic origin is also visible under water. Large schools of fish. As a volcanic island in the Atlantic and of course you can not expect no coral gardens. But turtles, nurse sharks, lobsters, etc., which hide, for example, in rock crevices.

The daily boat trip in the small fishing boats in rough seas of 40 minutes each was somewhat unpleasant. Also, the boats had no boarding aid (ladder). But otherwise everything okay

Unfortunately, due to storms in September (sediments from the mountains were washed into the sea), the dive sites in the south were not diveable for visibility reasons. Therefore the choice of alternatives was limited. However, especially the abundance of fish was very impressive, as well as the different and exciting underwater topographies. The simple fishing boats were functional, but lacked any comfort (no boarding ladders). The always helpful crew made up for this shortcoming in a sympathetic way, & the boat trips were always a lasting experience.
