About Umm Gamar

A small island north of Giftun with a shallow plateau and a wall dropping past 30 m.

Soft-coral walls, morays and glassfish, with pelagics passing in the blue.

Today's conditions

Two guided dives at Umm Gamar or Careless Reef, reached fast by private speedboat.

The area's most underrated dive: a southern plateau of caves and pinnacles wrapped in glassfish.

The current-day adrenaline pick — a flying drift past debris fields and patrolling trevally.
