About Boris
Boris is a wreck dive off the southwestern coast of Sal in Cape Verde, lying around 20–28 m. The former Russian commercial ship was intentionally sunk in 2006 and now functions as an artificial reef. The site attracts marine life such as fish and can have occasional manta ray sightings. Certified wreck divers may enter the wreck, and carrying a torch is recommended for interior areas.
