Big fishs and huge rocks
The volcanic structure that is clearly visible in the landscape on Santiago continues under the water surface. Typical of the underwater landscape are massive boulders, towers, caves, canyons, gates, steps and steep slopes.
The rock faces are densely covered with coral species, hydrozoon, algae and yellow shining crustose anemones. The Cape Verde Islands are among the - still - richest in fish in the world. Here you have the chance to catch a glimpse of all the large fish and marine mammals living in the southern Atlantic.
