About This Dive Spot
Boris is a wreck dive site located at depths ranging from 20 to 28 meters (66-90 feet) off the southwestern coast of Sal, Cape Verde. The wreck of a former Russian commercial ship was intentionally sunk in 2006 to create an artificial reef, attracting various marine life including fish and occasional manta rays. Certified wreck divers can penetrate the wreck, but a torch is recommended.
