Parede de Bitxon is a boat-based wall dive in the Cape Verde archipelago, starting with a sandy descent before reaching a wall that drops sharply into deeper water. The route then climbs slowly along the wall edge toward a coastal reef and a shallow finish beneath the boat, which keeps the dive engaging from start to end. It is the kind of site that rewards slow scanning in the blue, careful buoyancy, and a relaxed pace on the ascent, because the wildlife is often as much in the water column as it is on the rocks.
