Want to discover the Indian Ocean and breathe underwater for the very first time? The introductory dive is the ideal way in. In Réunion, in warm, clear water, it is an adventure open to everyone, from the age of 8.

What is an introductory dive?

An introductory dive is a first immersion supervised by an instructor. No experience is needed: just the desire to discover. The instructor stays by your side from start to finish and guides you step by step, for a first dive in complete peace of mind.

Tropical wildlife

Multicoloured fish, corals, and sometimes a passing turtle: every introductory dive is a real discovery of the Indian Ocean’s underwater life.

For everyone, from age 8

Introductory dives are open from the age of 8. It’s an ideal outing with family, as a couple or with friends.
