The weather in Cabo Verde allows diving all year round.
Cabo Verde offers amazing easy dives with a great diversity of species including some endemic ones like the white tail damselfish (Chromis lubbocki), nurse sharks are also common as are stranger fishes like the frog fish. Big schools of surgeon fish are common as well as big schools of pelagic fishes.
The water temperatures goes from 21ºC to 26ºC and the visibility is between 15 and 30 meters.
High season is from July to November and a 3 or 5mm wetsuit is recommended. On the low season from December to June a 5mm wetsuit is recommended.
Diving is made from rigid inflatable boats and the boat trips are short, from 10 to 30 minutes. The surface interval is usually made on the boat.
The Atlantic Ocean is very dynamic and the weather can change daily so for the most sensitive to seasickness it is recommended to take some seasickness medication.
Diving is generally very easy having some current only on some of the dive spots.
