La Pointe au Sel
★★★★☆
(254)
This is said to be THE dive of Réunion Island. Open water diving, often with a strong current. The drop-off starts at around 25 m and ends at over 60 m.
If the current is favourable, you may come across schools of trevally, rays in open water and, for the lucky ones, manta rays. There may also be tuna.
