About the activity

The Excelsus Diving Club, based in Saint-Leu, offers scuba diving outings for autonomous divers (minimum Level 2, PA40, and Advanced Open Water Diver + Rescue Diver) to the most beautiful dive sites of Reunion Island, right in the heart of the island's marine nature reserve. All sites are less than 30 minutes by boat from the port of Saint-Leu and will delight underwater photographers, marine biology enthusiasts, or anyone simply looking for adventure! With water temperatures ranging between 24 and 29°C year-round and visibility from 10 to 30 meters, even up to 40 meters in winter, the bay of Saint-Leu provides perfect conditions for scuba diving in Reunion Island.

Using your own equipment or the club’s gear, you will explore exceptional and very diverse underwater sites: caves, tunnels, wrecks, coral walls, and much more—there is something to amaze every diver around Saint-Leu! Additionally, you will have the pleasure of encountering an incredibly rich underwater fauna and flora: tropical fish, corals, anemones, tunas, barracudas, eagle rays, and stingrays, as well as turtles, dolphins, and even humpback whales in season, if you are lucky! Among the many dive sites around Saint-Leu, you will find:

  • Passe de l'Ermitage – 0 to 25 meters deep, a must-visit dive site in Reunion Island
  • 3 Bassins – 6 to 30 meters deep, frequently visited by turtles, eagle rays, and stingrays
  • Les 2 Arches – 0 to 25 meters deep, a coral reef site featuring 2 arches, as its name suggests
  • Jardin des Kiosques – 0 to 35 meters deep, alternating between coral and sand (ravines), with numerous crevices and faults
  • Boxy's Canyon – 6 to 35 meters deep, a small wall up to 20 meters deep, and further along another wall descending to 60 meters, suitable for more experienced divers
  • Pointe au Sel – 25 to 60 meters deep, THE deep dive in Reunion Island, a wall plunging down to 71 meters
  • L'Antonio Lorenzo – 32 to 40 meters deep, a wreck destined to become an artificial reef
  • L’arche de Noël - 0 to 45 metres deep, an arch about 10 meters in diameter, in a relief full of peaks and plateaus

And if you prefer to dive with a dive master, don't hesitate to opt for a guided exploration dive!
