Did you know...

The Cape Verde is actually an African country. Way back in the time of slavery, many people escaped slavery in mainland West Africa by making the then perilous journey to Cape Verde, a safe haven. 

There are 10 Islands in total, all very different from each other.

Go to Sal Page

The Republic of Cape Verde (Portuguese: Cabo Verde) is located on an archipelago off the western coast of Africa . The islands of the Cape Verde archipelago are windy, hilly, dry - almost lunar - and fairly sleepy. But there's beauty in the parched hills. And some of the islands are actually lush. There's good hiking, lively nightlife and plenty of quiet corners to hide away in.

This is a fantastic new diving destination which is truly unspoilt and you can still have the luxury of a dive site to yourself. Although the coral life is pretty limited the fantastic visibility, variety of fish life and possibility to dive wrecks, caves etc more than makes up for it.
