Tuna Point, off Santiago, provides a solid dive for those exploring Cape Verde's underwater scene. The site features a mix of rocky formations and sand patches where we’ve spotted the occasional wide-eyed flounder. It's a decent spot for a relaxed dive, offering a good chance to see some of the common Atlantic species without any strong currents to contend with. We'd suggest it for divers looking for an easy-going afternoon in the water.
