Reviews about Grand Tombant de la Pointe au Sel

Simply the best dive site in Reunion! So beautiful
Simply the best dive site in Reunion! So beautiful coral formation and a huge drop off! You can be lucky to meet shale sharks and manta rays, who are coming just from the very depth! The current can be quite strong that brings big fish. Definitely must see dive spot! Cheers, Alex
