Why dive here
Cavala is a dive where divers can encounter dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas.
Cavala is a drift dive off Sal, moving along a sandy bottom interspersed with rocky outcrops. We typically see schools of barracuda and often encounter larger pelagics like tuna cruising past. It's an easy drift, making it suitable for newer divers comfortable with current, looking for a relaxed journey with potential for big fish sightings.
