Arenas
Shallow reef-cavern dive with schools of fish in Cabo Verde
Rocky reef and sand lanes lead to a sheltered cavern finish, with plenty of small-life hunting along the edges and schooling fish in the structure.
About Arenas
Arenas is a shallow reef-and-cavern dive in Cabo Verde built around scattered rock blocks, sand lanes, and a sheltered arching finish. Divers move slowly along the reef edge to look for schooling fish and small subjects in the rocks, then finish in a cavern where the overhead section rewards careful buoyancy and calm spacing. The profile stays approachable, but the last section deserves the same discipline you would use on any overhead-environment dive.
