About Roches Merveilleuses
Roches Merveilleuses is a deep offshore Réunion dive built around three large rocks, arches, and a famous six-meter anchor. The site suits experienced scuba divers who want gorgonians, pelagic fish, and hard-edged topography rather than an easy reef cruise. Plan it as a guided boat dive with advanced certification, because depth and current make it a demanding outing.
