We are contemplating a vacation in the Capeverdian Islands (Cabo verde) next year. There is not all that much (useful) information about diving there on the net, so I thought I‘d ask around here. Does anyone have experience to share? Is the diving good, if so at which season, can you recommend a dive center, a hotel or anything else we might want to know? Or maybe you found a good website to consider for planning the trip?

We are aware that the Atlantic is not the Red Sea, we visited the Azores and Madeira before & liked this a lot because of the combination of diving and above-water activities like hiking. It seems that Cabo Verde might be a logical „next step“, but maybe that is just our imagination. 

Is there really no one who tried Cabo Verde for diving yet?
Asking this to bump up the topic just once.

I guess I’ll apply for a Waterpixel travel grant to fill the void…

 

There's a trip report on thediveforum.com:

If by any chance you are not adverse to reading french (you may use Google transaltion as well) this is a Cabo Verde landside and diving report that was written very recently on the Forum Photosub (somehow a french sisterforum to Waterpixels, you'll be welcome to join too btw).
