About Canjana
Canjana is a boat-access volcanic headland off São Vicente with a sheltered bay feel and a rocky pinnacle profile. The dive is about the structure and the life tucked around the point: sun-coral patches, clear Atlantic water, and a mix of fish, rays, turtles, morays, octopus, and seasonal manta sightings. Plan on a guided boat dive with calm-weather windows and a drift-like current around the headland.
