5.066 Google reviewsDive into a marine reserve where scientific ecology and coral restoration meet a 5-star diving experience in Murdeira Bay.

Located in the Murdeira Bay marine nature reserve on the island of Sal, AllBlue Cabo Verde offers a different kind of diving experience. This is not just about the descent and ascent, but about understanding the delicate balance of the Atlantic ecosystem. The centre has been operating since 2016, positioning itself as a gateway to the marine science of the Cape Verde archipelago.
As a 5-star establishment, the focus here is on sustainability and active ocean stewardship. The centre operates with a mission to combine tourism with scientific observation, making it a preferred choice for divers who want to engage with the environment on a deeper level.
The centre is led by Richard Lema, an instructor and ocean ambassador with a strong background in marine science. The team brings specialised expertise to the water, holding certifications in marine ecology, sea turtle ecology, and coral reef restoration.
This scientific approach is woven into the diving experience through what they call the 'living classroom.' Rather than just observing the reef, you are taught to identify species, understand their behaviours, and recognise the health of the coral ecosystems. This makes the centre particularly well-suited for families and enthusiasts of all ages who value educational depth.
The team maintains a commitment to rigorous scientific standards and active conservation, ensuring that every dive contributes to a greater understanding of the local habitat.
Islet Rabo de Junco West is an advanced site with depths ranging from 8 to 25 metres. It is characterised by moderate to low currents, making it a rewarding location for those looking to explore the reef structure.
Horizon is a shallower site suitable for beginner divers, with depths between 10 and 13 metres. The currents here are low, providing a calm environment for those building their confidence.
Islet Rabo de Junco East offers very shallow waters between 3 and 10 metres. With low currents, it is an ideal spot for beginners or for those looking for a relaxed, easy dive.
