The underwater world in la Reunion: snorkelling in the Indian ocean, part 3

As promised finally some videos from the long snorkeling hours in the warm water of the Indian ocean. Next to the colourful trigger fishes and the quick butterfly fishes I had the honour to swim with a huge family of squids (over 20) and one let me (very kindly) film him/her from very close! Doenjoy the video and those fantastic colours. The squids are extremely incredible to watch in therei element (water) as they move with their wings and change colours almost all the time!


The second video shows the huge variety of different fishes in the bay of St Leu after one local crushed a sea urchin and let the passing by fishes have a feast:



And some more pictures from the underwater inhabitants and the snorkeling tourists:-)

Underwater in Reunion, diving in St Leu/ la vie sous-marine en Reunion

Today I would like to share with you some underwater impressions from our two dives in St Leu (dive sites: "Les Arches" and "Les Kioskques")...Amazing colours are to be sighted and a lot of corals (fortunately in better shape than the corals in the Maldives), but still almost 40% is dead. Colourful fishes, curious shrimps, crabes and anemones, nudibranches hiding, corals in different shapes and colours are all around!
Enjoy the pictures taken by Nico!
