Umm Gamar

Umm Gamar is an intermediate dive site at a large offshore reef north of Hurghada in Egypt's Red Sea. The reef island rises from deep water, creating walls and overhangs covered in spectacular soft corals. Dolphins are regularly spotted in the area, sometimes joining divers underwater. The current-swept northern point attracts schooling fish, barracuda, and the occasional hammerhead shark. The combination of dolphin sightings, vibrant coral walls, and pelagic encounters makes Umm Gamar one of Hurghada's most exciting boat dive destinations.
