    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Tour de Boucan is a pretty straightforward dive, sitting at a consistent 19m. It’s a nice spot for newer divers, or when you just want a relaxed potter around without any tricky navigation. We’ve often seen big schools of fusiliers here, swirling around the bommies, and if you keep an eye on the sand patches, you might spot a wary stingray tucked in. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s a perfectly pleasant way to spend an hour underwater in Réunion.
