Hi,
we spent a couple of days on Cabo Verde, which is a small island off the coast across from Senegal - sort of.
We stayed in the local Hilton and tried out the dive club, at the hotel. Never saw so many pipefishes, they were everywhere. Also some stonefish and some reeffishes; the corals were not nice and there was no sun, so less light. Underwater, dive master Jade was excellent, pointing out, safestops etc. The organisation was a bit different; there didn't seem to be a boss, we were picked up by a different dive boat, had to wait for snorkelers, a loan regulator was malfunctioning, arguing between the staff... Our divemaster was asked to go on another dive immediately after our dive; she pointed out that she would have to wait one hour - which the person asking her should have known. Even my wife, who is more adventorous than me agreed to only one dive; my thoughts: if somethings goes wrong with this operation, you're in trouble. There ware some other dive operators in the small town but didn't contact them.
