La Pointe Au Sel

La Pointe au Sel is a coastal dive site in Saint-Leu on Réunion Island. The site typically features shallow to mid-depth profiles with rocky reef formations and clear water conditions typical of the Indian Ocean. Entry usually from rocky shoreline or a small boat drop, with a gradual slope that hosts a variety of reef-dwelling species. Expect a calm, warm environment with visibility often ranging from good to very good, depending on conditions. Common wildlife includes reef fish such as damselfish and parrotfish, with chances to spot nudibranchs, small lobsters, and occasionally reef sharks or turtles in the broader area. The site is suitable for beginner to intermediate divers, and is often used for navigation practice and short drift checks along the reef edge.
