About Bouée rouge
Shallow artificial-reef training site on Réunion's west coast, built around coral-covered concrete blocks that shelter small reef life. It suits beginner scuba, refresher sessions and simple navigation practice, with the real value coming from easy structure, close-range observation and low-distraction skills work. Plan it for calm-weather sessions where compact routing, buoyancy control and short relaxed profiles matter more than distance.
