Parede do Tarrafal - Santo Antão

Parede do Tarrafal, off Santo Antão, offers a straightforward wall dive down to 20 metres. It’s a good spot for newer divers to get comfortable with a sheer drop-off, without the complication of strong currents or significant depth. We usually find small schools of grunts hanging around the overhangs, and we've often spotted scorpionfish camouflaged on the rock face if you take your time to look. It’s a solid option for a relaxed afternoon dive, perfect for knocking out some buoyancy practice.
