Arrive through La Reunion Roland Garros Airport (RUN) near Saint-Denis and continue by road to the western Saint-Gilles-les-Bains or Saint-Leu base. The airport transport authority lists Car Jaune line T through the western coast with stops at Saint-Gilles-les-Bains and Mairie de Saint-Leu; the advertised base fare is EUR 2, but timetable, ticket rules and luggage acceptance may change. Rental car, official taxi or pre-arranged accommodation pickup can be more practical for bulky dive gear. No overnight-vessel transfer or sea-based liveaboard access is verified as a normal way to visit this land-based region.
Saint-Gilles and Saint-Leu are separate coastal bases with local marina pickup points. A rental car makes beach, highland and museum days easier; line T is a low-cost intercity and airport alternative according to the airport transport page, but check current Car Jaune timetables and whether a stop is near your accommodation or the dive port.
