About Corail Noir
Corail Noir is a deep offshore Reunion dive site built around a huge black coral colony rising from black sand and three fissured rock formations. It suits advanced scuba teams rather than casual reef diving. The site is about structure and deep life: Napoleon wrasse, tuna, stingrays, and other Indian Ocean fauna can appear when the current and visibility cooperate.
