Cape Verde
Tarrafal
Tarrafal is a coastal town on the island of Santiago in Cape Verde. While Cape Verde offers ocean-side diving around other islands, Tarrafal itself is not a major dive hub, and the town's direct dive activity is limited. The nearby coastal waters can be accessed for general swimming and snorkeling, but there are no widely advertised dive centers or notable local dive sites in the immediate town. If you're visiting for diving, you’d typically base yourself on larger seafaring hubs around Cape Verde or plan trips to other islands with established dive centers and reefs.
