Why dive here
Tres Grottes is a cave 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.
Tres Grottes, or "Three Caves," offers a mellow dive experience on Sal. You’ll navigate a series of interconnected caverns and swim-throughs, allowing natural light to filter in, which is always a treat. It’s a good spot for newer divers to get a feel for overhead environments without strong currents or deep depths. Look out for the usual reef fish taking shelter within the darker nooks.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
