Umm Usk is an advanced dive site in the Hurghada offshore area featuring a wreck and reef combination. The site offers a fascinating wreck exploration with the vessel now serving as an artificial reef, colonized by soft corals and inhabited by large schools of glassfish and batfish. The surrounding natural reef is in good condition with diverse coral formations. The site requires boat access and experience with deeper diving, but rewards with unique photographic opportunities where man-made and natural reef merge seamlessly.
