About Cap Homard
Cap Homard is a west-coast Réunion dive built around a basalt chimney and nearby reef structure that suits newer divers but still rewards careful buoyancy. Lobsters, soldierfish, morays, turtles, and schooling reef fish gather around the rock, while the surrounding sand and faults add enough relief to keep the dive varied. It is best treated as a relaxed boat dive rather than a deep or technical one, with the cleanest dives coming when sea state and visibility cooperate.
