About this site
Tres Grotes lies along the coast of Sal, one of the Barlavento islands of Cape Verde in the eastern Atlantic. Dive sites off this island are typically reached by short boat trips from operators based near Santa Maria or Palmeira. This reef site has a maximum depth of around 9 metres, making it a shallow dive well suited to relaxed exploration of the rocky terrain.
