About Sem Âncora
Sem Âncora is a São Vicente boat dive with a quiet Atlantic reef profile built from rock and sand. It suits intermediate scuba divers who want an easy outing with good fish variety, including stingrays, turtles, moray eels, trumpetfish, and other reef life. The site is more about relaxed exploring and careful buoyancy than speed or current, so it works best on a calm day with a measured pace.
