Why dive here
Shark Point is a dive in Boa Vista, Cape Verde. Water ranges 23-28°C, warmest August, September, October.
Shark Point, off Boa Vista, often delivers exactly what its name suggests. We’ve found nurse sharks resting on the sandy bottom, sometimes tucked into rocky crevices. The site is relatively shallow, usually around 10-15 metres, making it a relaxed dive, good for newer divers or those who just want to spend some quality time with the local shark population. We also see stingrays here quite often, cruising along the sand.
