Scuba Season
Underwater at Sete Pedras

Sete Pedras

Príncipe Island · São Tomé and Príncipe

Seven volcanic boulders scattered across a sandy plateau on the southeast coast create a distinctive dive site with exceptional macro life and good fish density. The gaps between the boulders shelter nudibranchs, frogfish, and cleaning stations attended by endemic Príncipe sunbird wrasse. Larger boulders are coated in encrusting sponge and cup coral. A reliable hammerhead cleaning station sits at 28 m on the outer edge, active primarily in the dry season.
