BOOK NOWLike low effort diving? Then drift diving is for you
Too many divers shy away from sites infamous for current. However, some of the most beautiful diving locations in the world are home to currents that constantly replenish the reef with an abundance of nutrients. Many forms of marine life can be sustained in these subsequent biodiversity hotspots, making the sometimes extra work totally worthwhile.
