Umm El Ros
Umm El Ros is one of the most well known dive sites in the port Ghalib area and only a 15 minute ride away from the marina. A natural bay formation keeps this site protected. A beautiful dive can be conducted from 1m depth through a sandy bottom to the northern reef or to the southern pinnacles.
Whether you are a snorkeler or a diver, this site will cater to you. It is very common to see sea turtles, sea cows (dugongs), dolphins, lots of fish, and much more.
