Petites Gorgones

Petites Gorgones is a small coral garden site off Saint-Paul, known for its compact stands of gorgonians and typical reef fauna. The site features a shallow to mid-depth profile with gentle slopes and scattered rocks, suitable for experienced and new divers depending on conditions. Expect clear water with mild currents and a calm backdrop typical of tropical Indian Ocean reefs around La Réunion. Common residents include small reef fish, wrasses, damselfish, parrotfish, and occasional lobsters around rock formations. Entry is straightforward from a shore or boat, and visibility can vary with plankton and weather; plan dives within local safety limits.
