On Reunion Island, diving in the Big Blue means experiencing a magical encounter with whales and dolphins, contemplating the sunset over the ocean, diving to discover the wealth of underwater flora and fauna, swimming in complete safety in the unspoilt lagoon and snorkeling in the Ermitage Marine Nature Reserve….
With its two hundred kilometers of coastline, Reunion Island offers some thirty kilometers of sandy beaches, including twenty-two kilometers of exceptionally well-preserved lagoons. Clownfish in anemones, leopard moray eels, sea turtles, elegantly-swimming rays… All these treasures of underwater flora and fauna are protected by the Natural Marine Reserve of Reunion Island, created in 2007.
All the facets of the sea are concentrated on the island’s west and south coasts: lagoons protected by a coral reef, supervised bathing areas, beaches of white sand or hot, volcanic black sand, and swimming pools where you can jump in and cool off. Water temperatures vary between 22 and 30°C, depending on the season. Relax on warm sandy beaches lined with coconut palms or filaos, an exceptional setting for memorable moments of idleness and daydreaming. Let the trade winds lull you to sleep, and at the end of the day, relax in a beach bar or on the terrace of a restaurant, and watch the sun set over the Indian Ocean.
