Halg Umm Gamar

The Halg Umm Gamar Dive Site is located just off the legendary island of Umm Gamar, whose name means “mother of the moon” in Arabic. Known for its impressive depth range of 20 to 40 meters, this site is ideal for advanced divers seeking a true deep-dive experience in the Red Sea. The underwater topography is dominated by a striking drop-off and a long reef wall, creating a dramatic landscape that attracts both marine life and thrill-seeking divers. Along the vertical wall, divers can admire beautiful soft corals, black coral bushes, and gorgonians growing in the deeper sections.

The blue water beside the drop-off often brings encounters with trevallies, tunas, barracudas, and occasionally cruising eagle rays or reef sharks. Closer to the wall, divers may find moray eels, scorpionfish, and small reef fish sheltering among crevices and ledges. With its depth, clarity, and spectacular wall formations, Halg Umm Gamar offers a powerful and memorable dive for experienced adventurers.
