Just with fins, masks and snorkels
Reunion Diving is also a snorkeling tour with two options:
An exit on the top of the coral reef near the shore where you will enjoy the reef and its lush fauna.
Another in search of cetaceans, often outcome fruitful because 3 species of dolphins are observed all the year.
DISCOVER THE CORAL BARRIER
After a short boat trip or directly from the shore, we will stop at the nearest dive sites, with a depth of our playground between 1 and 6 meters.
.
Volcanic rocks, large coral potatoes , hard coral or other coral brains, soft corals , sponges, algae or anemones; You will evolve in the middle of hundreds of species of crustaceans, fish such as Parrots, Surgeons, Trumpets, Balloons, , Butterflies, Angels, Lion fishes to name but a few, why not Green Turtles or even Eagles or Stingrays.
In other words, you will not know or give a head in the middle of this abounding life!
SEARCH FOR CETACEANS
Even if it is impossible to guarantee their meeting ( we are not in Marineland !), You have every chance to meet one of the three species of dolphins residing all year in Reunion.
Tursiops Aduncus, Tursiops Truncatus (Flipper), Stenella Longirostris are seen daily around the island, it is with them that one is most likely to get into the water! However, Dolphins of Electre, Fraser or whale shark are seen but more sporadically.
ABOUT THE HUMPBACK WHALES ?
During the Austral winter, the Humpback whales (Megaptera Novaenglia) leave the South Pole, find calmer waters to mate and give birth; Among others in Reunion where one can have the chance to cross them from June to October.
Hearing the males, swimming alongside the females and their babys are among the most incredible experiences that our planet can offer us, so do not hesitate and cross the course!
Framed in the water by a patented instructor, in groups of eight maximum, the approach is obviously in compliance with the charters to avoid the harassment of these animals. Several conditions for a safe launching : That the animal is not agitated (when it makes jumps is not the moment!) That the sea conditions allow and that there are not too many boats on zone, but the game in Well worth the effort!
