About this spot
Tarrafal's underwater cliff is one of the deepest accessible wall dives in West Africa. Currents along the wall bring schooling barracuda, occasional hammerheads, and the chance of mola mola sightings. Visibility frequently 30m+ April-October. Only operated by one outfit (Tarrafal Dive Center) — book ahead.
