Monte Trigo is a deep wall dive located off the western coast of Santo Antao, Cape Verde. The site features a wall that drops to 30 metres, requiring advanced certification due to the open-water exposure and moderate currents. Divers can expect visibility ranging from 15 to 30 metres, with water temperatures between 23 and 27 degrees Celsius. Access is exclusively by boat, situated approximately 1500 metres from the shore. Given the remote nature of this location and the potential for drift conditions, divers must be self-sufficient and prepared for open-water ascents.
