    We like Ras Torombi for its straightforward ease. Dropping straight in from the liveaboard platform, you’re met with a shallow reef that almost breaks the surface. It's a gentle drift, usually, with only light current to nudge you along, making it a solid pick for newer divers or anyone looking for a relaxed swim. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff here; we’ve spotted plenty of reef fish tucked into the coral and an occasional blue-spotted ray in the sand. At a maximum depth of 17 metres, it’s not about grand pelagics, but more about easygoing exploration.
