Realize your first scuba diving experience in Saint-Gilles-les-Bains, on the west coast of Reunion Island, with Reunion Diving !

Located south of Saint-Paul, Saint-Gilles and its lagoon are ideal for a first dive in Reunion Island. It is at a maximum depth of 6 meters, where the underwater fauna and flora are the richest and where the light still offers a lot of visibility, that you will realize your very first diving experience. You will go to a dive site around Saint-Gilles chosen according to the sea and weather conditions in order to enjoy your first dive in complete safety.

You will leave by boat from the port of Saint-Gilles, between the beach of Roches Noires and the beach of Brisants, to reach the diving site where you will have the opportunity to observe the rich marine biodiversity of Reunion Island: clown fish, turtles, giant anemones, etc., you will spend a magical moment discovering it during your first dive! You will stay underwater for a total of 25 minutes, with a state-qualified instructor at your side to guide you and ensure your safety.

Sheltered from the sun on board the boat while the other divers are doing their first dive, you may be able to observe dolphins or even whales during the season from July to October! So don't wait any longer and come to Saint-Gilles in Reunion Island for your first dive!
