I don’t know about drift hooks, but I simply fashioned a 10″ plastic tent stake with a small loop of rope for control in drift. Works great in sand and minimal impact/effect of reef if you absolutely have to do it.

Thomas,
I liked and agree with your comparison to “zen-like” diving. Drift diving is also about as close to flying as most of us are ever likely to get! Nearly all of the dive sites and on almost every day from Cozumel Mexico one can experience drift diving. Just look fast, because if you pass something interesting you’re probably not going to get back to it!
