Why dive here
Cret-Cheu is a dive in Boa Vista, Cape Verde. Water ranges 23-28°C, warmest August, September, October.
Cret-Cheu, off Boa Vista, is a solid drift dive when the conditions are right. We've often seen various rays gliding along the sandy bottom, and the occasional nurse shark peeking from under overhangs. It’s a good spot for divers comfortable with current, looking for a relaxed exploration of the reef edge. Keep an eye out for schooling jacks further out in the blue.
