About this site
Ilhéu das Rolas is a small island in the Gulf of Guinea off the southern tip of São Tomé, notable for sitting almost exactly on the Equator, which is marked by a monument on the island. It lies within São Tomé and Príncipe, a volcanic island nation off the west coast of Central Africa. Diving in the area is organized from lodges on the island, reached by boat from the main island of São Tomé.
