Champignons - Sal

Champignons on Sal offers a decent dive for those looking for something a bit different. The site features a series of mushroom-shaped rock formations, giving it its name, with plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. We’ve spotted octopus tucked away and schools of grunt sheltering from the current. It’s a good option for divers wanting a relaxed dive with interesting topography.
