About this site

Just south of Umm Gamar island, Shabruhr Umm Gamar is a long reef offering a relaxed dive over ergs, swim-throughs and a sandy plateau where a small wreck and pinnacles attract glassfish and lionfish. Turtles, morays and clouds of anthias make it a colourful, easy site. It pairs well as the second, shallower dive after the main island wall.
