    Torfa Sabaa sits at a comfortable 19 metres, making it a good intermediate dive. It's not the most dramatic site in Safaga, but we find it offers a relaxed drift over a sandy bottom dotted with coral heads. Look for scorpionfish hunkered down and the occasional blue-spotted ray in the quieter corners. This is a solid choice for shaking off the rust or enjoying a calmer second dive.
