Taken everyone's advice and replaced the sand in my tortoises enclosure with coir shavings...checked on the tort last night and he was completely buried, took me a second to find him my husband then worried he wouldn't be able to breathe...really silly but are we being over dramatic or will he be ok ?

Yup, he'll be fine if your temps are good.
They like to bury themselves completely to feel secure. They need very little oxygen to breathe and there is easily enough in the spaces between the coir particles.
My girl loves to do this.
