This dive site, known as Parede de Monte Trigo, is a captivating wall located within the bay of Monte Trigo. Divers typically begin their descent along the wall, keeping it to their right, and can easily reach depths of 30 meters. The return journey takes divers into shallower waters, with the wall now on their left, allowing for exploration of its numerous holes and crevices. There is no specific history or story provided for this particular dive site beyond its natural formation.
The diverse marine life encountered here includes tunas, doctorfish, soldierfish, trumpet fish, amberjacks, parrot fish, glasseye, nudibranchs, and scorpion fish. Significantly, there are occasional occurrences of larger pelagic species such as manta rays and oceanic sharks, adding an exciting element to the dive.
While a specific best time to visit is not provided, Cabo Verde generally offers good diving conditions year-round, with peak seasons often dictated by specific pelagic migrations. Divers should be comfortable with deep wall diving. Freedivers will find the varied depths, from shallow to 38 meters, and the potential for encountering large marine animals, very appealing. Always dive within your training and experience limits, especially when exploring deeper sections of the wall.
