Umm Arouk
Also known as: Umm Aruk · Om Orouk · Um Arouk
Around the main reef the sandy seabed slopes gently, and a field of coral pillars rises from about 18 to 20 m to near the surface, which earned the site the nickname St. John's woods. The north and east walls are rich in coral, with shoals of sweetlips, and the east side has small outcrops and an anemone colony at about 5 m. The west and south sides are barer. Night dives show octopus, shrimps and other invertebrates.
