About Champignon
Champignon is a boat-only shallow reef off Sal with a sandy bottom, a long reef, and a mushroom-shaped overhang that makes the site easy to read underwater. It is a relaxed, beginner-friendly dive for scuba or snorkeling, with turtles, rays, nurse sharks, octopus, lobsters, crabs, nudibranchs, and pufferfish around the overhang. Plan it for calm-water days if you want the clearest, most comfortable experience.
