The Chimney, Cap Homard

The Chimney is regarded as one of Reunion's greatest diving spots. You will get the opportunity to dive down a massive basaltic rock chimney at this diving site on Reunion Island. This lobster-filled chimney reaches a depth of roughly 22 meters. Enjoy the descent by properly setting your BCD and buoyancy. A spectacular arch at the foot of the chimney will allow you to explore minor fractures and canyons before emerging onto a stretch of white beach.

Parrotfish, tuna, barracudas, moray eels, snappers, groupers, and gorgeous gorgonians are among the abundant marine life. In the event of a heavy current, this dive can be a little challenging.
