Plongée à Saint-Leu — France
Saint-Leu on Réunion's sheltered west coast offers the island's best diving, with volcanic formations creating swim-throughs and walls that glow with soft corals. Humpback whales visit from June to October, and the French-standard dive infrastructure provides European-level safety and comfort. The Piton de la Fournaise volcano looms above.
