Scuba diving and snorkeling Réunion

A well-established club not far from the others, on the left after the college on the route des Colimaçons. Nitrox, rebreather, night and deep dives, training from level I to level IV, FFESSM, ANMP, PADI certification, you will find what suits you. Once a week, the club offers a day trip to the sea with 2 dives and meals. Ben welcomes you in a good mood and with professionalism. If you need to make a first dive: don't hesitate, this is where they are the most beautiful!

Opened since 1989, the Excelsus dive center is a reference on the island. Run by a young, professional and dynamic team, the club is known for its high level of safety as well as for its friendliness. The club house is really very nice, with its terrace, its bar and its beautiful ocean view that make you want to enjoy the after-diving. The connoisseurs will appreciate the technical mastery, with trainings for all levels, from diving to nitrox... One of the two boats has even been specially designed for the bay of Saint-Leu.

Created in 1997 and taken over in 2012, the Abyss Plongée centre is located next to the port. In addition to the classic dives, the club offers introductory diving courses, in one day, and courses for children under 12 years old. For the older children, you will be able to take advantage of ANMP/CEDIP training from level I to level IV, PADI training, nitrox diving and night dives. Finally, more family-oriented snorkeling trips are organized during the whale season. Book your dives online with the PADI Adventures application.

The centre dives into an area stretching from St. Paul's Bay to Trois-Bassins. It also organizes special dives on all the sites of the island, wrecks, drop offs, drift dives... without forgetting the classic night dives and all levels of training. Two outings are organized per day and three on Sundays. If you are a certified diver, Ô Sea Bleu organizes, in collaboration with Reef Check Reunion Island, dives to collect scientifically valid and good quality data on reef ecosystems.

Corail Plongée is a diving club with a friendly atmosphere, directly on the port of Saint-Gilles. The boats anchor just in front of it. Many residents and students come here to dive. Like all the other clubs, the team offers FFESSM, SSI, CMAS training, but the most important is the cetacean outing. You will discover the joys of the randosub by observing dolphins and discovering the reef. Let yourself be carried away by Christophe, Popotte, Sandrine and Jérôme and set off to explore the seabed of the West.

At the head of the harbor, next to the Le Saint-Gilles restaurant, Bleu Marine Réunion offers all types of diving, introductory and advanced courses, with à la carte programs. With four full-time instructors and full certification and insurance, safety is no problem. Two boats for 15 and 18 divers, specially built for diving. Night dives every Friday night, guaranteed fun. Bleu Marine Réunion also organizes snorkeling trips. In short, a reference center on the island, present for many years.

On the national, a little before the entrance of the city, the cliff side, the first diving centre to offer on Saint-Leu the diving formula and meals. Order the carry on the boat and enjoy it at the club, with the whole team, back from the dive. The atmosphere is very friendly. The club has a ombragée aluminium barge to dive on the bay of St. Leu. Two daily dives. A small covered terrace allows you to enjoy a punch at the end of the dive. FFESSM, ANMP and SSI training (international training for dual North American and European certification). Dive packages (5, 10, 20 or 40), night diving and theme diving.

This small dive centre stands out from the large «bubble factories» of the corner, with its small palanquées and friendly atmosphere. Approximately sorties, between the Bay of Saint Paul and Trois-basins, are proposed according to the level of participants and weather. No more than 6 divers per session, and that's all the better! The organization is simple and à la carte; Sub'Marine has no premises on the port, its van brings all the material on the ground. After you have booked by phone, you can get directly to pontoon A for immediate boarding.

Diving differently is how the Dodo Palme sees it, and he's right. More intimate than its neighbours in Saint-Gilles or Saint-Leu, this structure takes teams of up to 16 divers for outings in the West or around the island, starting from the Pointe des Galets. Baptisms, itinerant dives, themed dives (night, biological, or whale watching...), explorations (wrecks or reefs)... Outings are as varied as the depths. And this is probably why we never get tired of it.

Starting out as a freediving club and school, offering introductory, exploratory and training courses, Benoît launched the underwater scooter on Réunion Island. A 50-minute outing in small groups, starting from the beach. Equipped with flippers, mask and snorkel, you are towed by an aquatic propeller to observe the seabed. This small electric device is as fun as it is practical, providing new sensations underwater. At Cap La Houssaye, it's not uncommon to come across turtles and rays - an unforgettable experience!

Run by Philippe, an instructor for 15 years, this centre will take you diving in small groups in the bay of Saint-Paul in Saint-Leu, every day. The boat, designed for diving, is located in the port of Saint-Gilles. The center is O2CR certified for whale and dolphin outings which last 2h30 including all the snorkeling equipment (fins, mask, snorkel and wetsuit) for your launch. The most important thing is that the team adapts the schedule to your possibilities. To finish, they offer you a debriefing on the boat around a refreshment.

This diving center opened a few years ago is one of the few in the town of Saint-Paul. Departures are from Cap la Houssaye, but the center also organizes dive-camps in Sainte-Rose, for dives with photo or biology themes. We particularly like its low rates, which are different from those in Saint-Gilles. Stefan, the founder, mainly receives a clientele of residents. PADI and FFESSM courses available. During the whale season, outings away from the usual sites are offered in addition to the dives.

Duocéan has developed a unique protocol for launching dolphins and whales (in season) while respecting their codes. A team of passionate and qualified professionals, the club has developed its techniques in collaboration with a CNRS laboratory and a specialist in cetacean behaviour. Everything is calculated to respect the animals: gentle launching, supervision of the group, analysis of trajectories. The trip starts with a full briefing and lasts about 3h30. A magical experience!

Do you dream of swimming with dolphins in the open ocean? Whether it's along the reef or offshore, the dream becomes reality with the Grand Bain experience! As soon as you board the boat, you will be taken care of by a diving instructor and an experienced crew in order to live an exceptional moment, in complete safety and in accordance with the cetacean approach charter. On the program: knowledge about the underwater life of Reunion Island, search and approach, launching, snack. Up to two trips per day, not to be missed!

This association center, located at the mouth of the Rivière d'Abord on the Saint-Pierre side, offers several nautical activities, practiced on the water surface formed by this mouth or off the port: windsurfing, funboarding, wingfoil, windsurfing, kayaking, scuba diving, but also optimist and house sailing. For the latter, the outing is supervised by a licensed instructor on the sailboat Joke for half a day. A dynamic association of sea lovers.
