Chinese Wall
At the exit of the large bay in Tarrafal. A small, but long wall descends to a maximum depth of 18 meters, Perfect for macro photography. You'll see Frog Fish, slugs, Octopus and arrow crabs. Returning to the entry point you will once again get to view this impressive natural wall.

Ponta Atum North
Slowly dropping, with several overhangs, it is home to swarms of West African tang and trumpet fish. There is a cave with beautiful cover, full of yellow coral. It is also very easy to dive into the caves. Bearded brotula and Atlantic lobsters are inside. Maximum Depth is 25 meters.

Ponta Atum South

Le Arc
With its beautiful arch at 9m, it forms the start to the drop off. In the arch are always swarms of West African tang and trumpet fish. The bottom is full of bristle worms. The wall continues to fall, down to 25 metres. In the wall are a lot of cleaning stations with arrow crabs, shrimps and small slugs, which are cleaning morays, small grouper, comber or West African Tang. At the end, there are several small tunnels to dive across. Good buoyancy important. Also a good spot for night dive.
