Farol is a boat-access reef dive with strong marine life off Sal.
Expect a multilevel reef with cracks, gorges, and sandy pockets; boat access is standard and current windows matter.
About Farol
Farol is a multilevel boat dive off Sal that combines cracks, gorges, and reef shelves with sandy patches in between. The site is lively and easy to explore, with enough structure to hold turtles, morays, and other reef life across the three levels. Plan around current windows, because the site can turn into a drift-style dive when Santa Maria Bay starts to run.
