About Praia do Vulcão
Praia do Vulcão is a calm Santo Antão reef-and-sand dive that begins on a sandy run beside the reef, then drops into a broader slope with a deeper section for experienced divers. It suits boat-based planning through a local operator, works best in settled sea states, and is usually valued for relaxed conditions and regular fish life rather than hard logistics or heavy current.
