The Diving is not spectacular, but some how worth while visiting as a short dive holiday.

Some divesites had strong currents, but experienced divers will manage. Best sites are Boris Wreck and Choclassa ( best dive site, but be aware of strong currents). Not the same kind of coral reefs as the Red Sea, but more plataeus and boulder like shapes. Lots of life underwater.

Not much going on in Santa Maria. Great stretch of 8 km powdery sandy beach and if you're tired of diving, go kitesurfing or surf the big waves. If you're really tired just sit and relax on the beach and watch them do the hard work. Sal Island is fine for a 2 week break during winter.
