Why dive here
Sodfa is a reef dive where divers can encounter dolphins, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Sodfa, usually a second dive or a quick afternoon trip, offers a pleasant drift along a gently sloping reef. We often spot schools of yellowtail sweepers and Red Sea clown surgeons milling about the coral heads. Look for the flash of a pearl-side in the shallower sections, and keep an eye out for larger pelagics in the blue. It's a relaxed dive, good for photographers wanting to take their time or for newer divers getting comfortable with Red Sea currents.
