Somewhat protected in the bend of the reef, but mooring space is tight and current can be strong — some experience needed deeper
A bend in the Umm Gamaar reef where a sandy slope runs past two big coral blocks into very deep water — vertical wall to the south, steep slope to the north. Start deep at the coral blocks, follow the wall north to the current split point, then work shallower toward the moorings; with air to spare there is a small cave at 8 metres before a picture-perfect safety stop on the reef top.

What You Might See

Big schools of anthias, snapper & sweetlips Every common Red Sea butterflyfish Gorgonians & soft corals on the wall Cave at 8m
