Verhaal van de duiklocatie
Umm Al Maradem is a low-lying sandy island surrounded by fringing coral reefs in the southern Arabian Gulf. The dive profiles feature shallow coral gardens that gradually slope out toward sandy flats. Hard coral formations here include extensive table corals and massive porites mounds, which provide shelter for a variety of regional reef fish and macro fauna.
Extensive hard coral gardens dominated by tabular and massive boulder species
Regular sightings of green and hawksbill sea turtles feeding along the reef perimeter
Sheltered conditions ideal for photography and training dives
