Tokyo Drift. The name itself suggests motion, and that's exactly what you get here in Tofo. We love dropping in and letting the current do the work, carrying us over a patchwork of coral and rock formations. You'll want to keep your eyes peeled for the smaller stuff flitting about – Natal sergeants always seem to be dancing, and those sunburst butterflyfish really do catch the light. It’s a site for those who enjoy a good drift, a chance to really cover some ground and see what pops up next. Our favourite spots are the cleaning stations; if you’re patient and don't fidget too much, you might just catch a glimpse of a leopard shark or even a manta ray gliding in for a scrub. Visibility averages around 14 metres, which is usually enough to spot a loggerhead turtle cruising past, looking completely unbothered by the drift. This site suits divers who are comfortable with currents and appreciate a relaxed, observational dive.
