Morro Branco
Protected Area
Parque Natural de Cruzinha
Morro Branco, off Santo Antão, is a good spot for newer divers, dropping to a comfortable 24m. It’s a gentle dive, generally without much current, making it easy to focus on spotting the local reef fish and the occasional stingray in the sand. We often see groups of parrotfish grazing, and sometimes a passing turtle. It’s a solid, easy dive to get your fins wet.
