About the activity

A first dive is the basic activity for anyone who wants to discover scuba diving, whether it is just for an introduction or to start training afterwards. And to experience this very first dive in Reunion Island, what could be better than starting in Saint-Leu Bay, an area that is part of Reunion Island's marine nature reserve and teeming with fish? With corals, anemones, crustaceans, moray eels, surgeonfish, leaf fish, trumpetfish and many more, you are sure to create some unforgettable memories during your first dive in Saint-Leu!

Your underwater adventure will take place in clear waters offering visibility ranging from 10 to 30 metres, or even 40 metres in winter, with temperatures ranging from 24 to 29°C all year round. The conditions are therefore ideal for diving in Saint-Leu Bay, up to a maximum depth of 6 metres for your discovery session. You will be accompanied from start to finish by an experienced diving instructor who will help you get kitted out and ensure your safety throughout the activity, allowing you to embark on your adventure with complete confidence. Whether you can swim or not, this introductory diving session in Saint-Leu is open to everyone aged 8 and above, so don't let apprehension stop you from taking part and enjoying the underwater riches of Reunion Island!

Between the professionalism and friendliness of the team, the quality of the MARES scuba diving equipment, and the comfort of the fully equipped centre (changing rooms, showers, toilets, bar, terraces, etc.), you will enjoy your first dive in Saint-Leu in the best possible way. Perhaps it will even make you want to sign up for an Open Water diving course to continue your scuba diving training in Reunion Island with Excelsus!

Pour une première plongée on peu difficilement demander mieux comme cadre. On se retrouve transporté dans un décor de carte postale pour vivre un moment magique entouré d'une équipe de passionnés souriants. A ne pas manquer.
