Sao Nicolau Diving Lda

São Nicolau Diving promises a true Atlantic adventure, far from the ordinary. Set on the remote island of São Nicolau in Cape Verde, the centre occupies a restored seaside house just above the beach, pairing local charm with everything you need for a smooth, professional dive day. As the island's only dive centre, it keeps the sites pristine and rarely visited, with small groups and an uncrowded, peaceful atmosphere underwater.

Courses and what to expect

A PADI 5 Star Dive Center offering enriched air (Nitrox), São Nicolau runs a 2 Dives Package from USD 132, the PADI Open Water Diver Course from USD 527, and the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver from USD 382. Diving here is all about exploration — volcanic reefs, dramatic drop-offs, and vibrant ecosystems, with sharks, whales, turtles, and schools of ocean fish.

Between dives, relax in the ocean-view lounge or enjoy a fresh meal nearby. With staff speaking English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese, it suits divers seeking the quiet, unspoiled side of Cape Verde.
