Why dive here
With 511+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue sharks, dolphins and eagle rays - Bouée verte offers some of Saint-Gilles & West Coast's richest diving. Water sits around 28°C.
Bouée verte, just off Saint-Gilles, is exactly what it sounds like – a green buoy marking a nice, shallow dive. At 11 metres, it's perfect for a relaxed swim-through or a refresher dive. You’ll often find us taking new divers here to get comfortable, spotting plenty of damselfish darting between the rocks, and the occasional turtle gliding past. It's not a deep thrill-seeker's spot, but it’s reliably calm, offering a gentle introduction to Réunion’s coastal critters.
