About this site
Caldaia is a dive off the southwest tip of Sal in Cape Verde. It begins near the remains of a large steamship that sank there in the early twentieth century.
The ship's large boiler and the canyon beside the wreckage give a home to a variety of marine creatures, including stingrays and nurse sharks. The dive reaches a maximum depth of 19 metres.
