About this site
Uba Budo lies off Ilhéu das Rolas, the small island straddling the equator just south of São Tomé Island in the Gulf of Guinea. Dive sites around this island are typically reached by boat from the resort area on São Tomé's southern tip, over volcanic seabed shaped by the archipelago's origins.
