Bluff Point, tucked into Small Gubal Island, offers a really pleasant drift dive, especially for those who like to cruise along and take it all in. We often find the gentle current here makes for an easy passage past some decent coral formations. It's a nice spot for intermediate divers, sitting comfortably at 17m, where you’ll likely spot the usual Red Sea suspects – angelfish, butterflyfish, and maybe a napoleon wrasse if you’re lucky. It's a solid choice if you're after a relaxed dive without too much fuss, a good afternoon or check-out dive.
