About Torfa Abu Makadi
Torfa Abu Makadi is a classic Makadi Bay drift reef with a sloping wall, sand valleys, and a plateau that rewards controlled buoyancy. The site is more about a long, clean profile than a single gimmick, with colorful coral and the chance of bigger fish working the edge. It is best handled as a boat dive for experienced divers who are comfortable managing current and depth across the run. Compared with the busier headline reefs, it often feels quieter and more deliberate.
