AllBlue Cabo Verde

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.

The dive sites in Murdeira Bay are subject to varying conditions, with Islet Rabo de Junco West experiencing moderate to low currents. Other sites like Horizon and Islet Rabo de Junco East are typically characterised by low current conditions, making them more accessible for a wider range of experience levels.
