    Tofa Abu Hashish gives us a nice drift along a gently sloping reef. We often find ourselves gliding over sandy patches and scattered coral bommies, which are great for spotting critters if you slow down and look closely. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs tucked away, and our divers have occasionally glimpsed dolphins cruising past in the blue. It’s a pretty relaxed dive, perfect for photographers wanting to take their time, or anyone looking for a chilled-out afternoon without the pressure of a strong current.
