Thomas Reef

Smallest of the four Tiran reefs and, for many guides, the prettiest, Thomas concentrates its color into a tight lap: soft-coral terraces, fields of fire coral, and gorgonians leaning into the flow. Below 35 meters a canyon slices along the eastern side, spanned by natural arches and reserved in practice for technical divers - the recreational drift stays higher, riding the walls among snapper, fusiliers, and patrolling whitetips. Because the reef is short, current dictates everything; on a strong exchange the site becomes a fast scenic transit, on slack it rewards slow inspection of the overhangs. Turtles and eagle rays cross the deep edge, and the top reef glows in afternoon light.
