Diving in Reunion Island

The waters near the Port are particularly popular among divers. The Tombant site allows diving between 38 and 60 meters. The rocky plateaus form crevices and dizzying irregularities. The fauna there is particularly diverse, and you can see many species of fish, such as bonitos, tunas, schools of jacks, yellowfin tunas, or even sailfish. Likewise, other diving areas near the port are sprinkled with black sand, evidence of the intense volcanic activity of Reunion Island. When the environment becomes more rocky, it turns into a playground suitable for scorpionfish or moray eels. However, given the depth of these areas, the Port is more suitable for experienced divers.

Not far from Saint-Paul, Cap La Houssaye is the ideal place to start scuba diving. In fact, most diving baptisms take place there. From just 4 meters deep, you will see multiple colorful fish standing out against the blue depths and some rocky crevices. Moreover, a cave is also located in this area. At only 6 meters deep, it leaves an unforgettable memory in the minds of novice divers. Furthermore, while Cap La Houssaye does not require a very advanced level of diving, it is not lacking in terms of fauna. Indeed, it allows you to observe many fish, turtles, lobsters, all kinds of mollusks, and particularly colorful reefs.

Finally, let's leave the west coast for a moment to reach the south of Reunion Island. On the side of Sainte-Rose, experienced divers can explore the underwater volcanic flows. Indeed, at this location on the island, lava flows directly into the ocean. Moreover, it is also known as the marine habitat of dolphins and humpback whales... A real treat for the eyes!
