You're where...?

Really looking forward to some diving in Dingle at easter - really... but at the moment we are enjoying a balmy 22 deg underwater in sunny Cabo Verde. CV is a group of islands off Senegal, west Africa - relatively unexplored divewise. If a dive centre owner can name individual British & Irish divers he has met over the last few years you know you're breaking ground a little. The dives so far have been excellent on Sal. Unfortunately we were unlucky in Boa Vista where the centre's boat was out of the water. On now to San Vicente and Santo Antao in the north, much greener and more mountainous than the other islands. Highly recommend a trip here if you like adventure, dogs and not eating very often (for vegetarians!)

"Hi Jacquie & Neal,
I am absolutely appalled to learn of your situation regarding the dive centre. Your dive centre was one of the best I have ever visited, and I for one will not be interested in diving at the centre under any other management.

Those short minded fools should be ashamed of themselves, and it is precisely that kind of short minded, small town ignorance that will see the locals ruin their most valuable assets. You are of key importance both from a dive tourism and ecological awareness point of view, and if they do not appreciate this loss, they don’t deserve to have you working on behalf of the community and the local environment."
