    Boris, off Sal, offers a straightforward dive, often a good second dive of the day. You’ll find schools of yellowfin tuna cruising past and barracuda hanging in the gentle current. It’s a comfortable site for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed exploration with consistent pelagic sightings.
