Why dive here
Champignons is a dive where divers can encounter dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas. Water ranges 22-28°C, warmest August, September, October.
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.
