Kaz Plongée, your diving club in Réunion
The Center
Our center, located in L’Étang-Salé on Réunion Island, welcomes you year-round to an idyllic setting for a variety of dives at numerous sites…
Have you never dived before and dream of discovering the world of silence and weightlessness? You’ve come to the right place! We offer introductory dives for children as young as 8. Don’t hesitate any longer! You can also take courses (FFESSM, ANMP, SDI) and participate in exploration dives. Winter in Réunion (June to September in mainland France) is the best time to observe cetaceans in their natural habitat. We offer cetacean watching excursions that respect the environment and all regulations.
His specialty, aside from his technical skills which allow him to train and supervise dives to 60m, is teaching. No phobia can resist to him. Diving always ends with smiles… Yours… and his.
A lover of underwater photography and a fan of side-mount diving, he will share his passion for diving with you and help you discover what was invisible to your eyes.

Cetaceans trip
It’s not uncommon to observe our marine mammal friends enjoying the rich marine life of our shores. Reunion Island remains one of the few places in the world where swimming in the presence of cetaceans is permitted.
Dolphins are present and can be observed year-round.
Humpback whales visit us during the austral winter to give birth and raise their calves until they are old enough to continue their journey. To preserve their tranquility, very strict rules have been established, limiting the number of boats, the number of divers, and the duration of the observation. This activity is limited to 6 people from July 1st to September 30th. Embark with us on an adventure where respect and magic intertwine. We provide fins, mask, and snorkel. You will be guided by a passionate diving instructor who specializes in these observations.
Opening hours: From 7am to 4pm. 7 days a week.
