About Boris
Boat wreck dive off Sal in Cabo Verde, where the Boris, also known as Kwarcit, lies upright as an artificial reef in Atlantic water. It is an advanced wreck site for divers who want a boat-dependent profile, interior sections, and a richer marine-life payoff than a casual reef swim. The dive suits people comfortable with wreck procedures, torch use, and a controlled boat entry.
