Pointe Au Sel

The Salt-head drop-off, also known as Le Tombant de la Pointe au Sel, is an underwater coral formation that stretches from 25 to 70 meters deep. The massive drop-off begins at 25 meters and ends at 71 meters, making it the best diving spot on La Réunion! This iconic diving site, which is likely one of the best on Reunion Island, is hiding a tremendous secret. The shoal is suitable for advanced open water divers, while level 3 divers with a competent dive computer can descend to 60 meters.

Go down the cliff and look out into the blue for pelagics and other mega fauna, such as schools of trevallies, tunas, barracudas, and, if you're lucky, manta rays, sharks, or whale-sharks! The more pelagics and the stronger the current, the more spectacular it becomes!

You can dive with whale sharks, manta rays, dolphins, tuna, and marlin when the current is strong. You might even get lucky and dive with hammerhead sharks between October and November.
