Gruyère is a shallow west-coast Réunion reef dive with a coral drop-off, mixed sand-and-rock bottom, and lots of reef life.
About Gruyère
Gruyère is a boat-access reef dive on Réunion's west coast with a coral-covered drop-off over mixed white sand and rock, plus faults and small caves in the relief. It is a compact reef site rather than a deep technical dive, with a shallow shelf that stays lively and sunlit. Expect colorful reef fish, surgeonfish, jacks, turtles, and a generally relaxed profile that rewards good buoyancy and careful awareness around the drop-off.
