Saint Leu

Saint-Leu is a coastal town on Réunion Island, in the Indian Ocean. It’s a practical gateway for divers visiting Réunion, with multiple dive centers offering boat trips to nearby reef walls, underwater drop-offs, and occasional pelagic sightings. The area features clear tropical waters, relatively steep underwater topography, and reef ecosystems typical of the Mascarenes. For freshwater options, the island’s dive activity is primarily saltwater; nearby day trips from Saint-Leu provide access to diverse dive sites around Réunion, though conditions can be tied to swells and winds. Beginners can find introductory dives, while experienced divers can explore drift dives along reef walls depending on sea conditions.
