About this site
Umm Usk lies off Jubal Island in the Strait of Gubal, a stretch of the Red Sea between the Egyptian mainland near Hurghada and the Sinai peninsula, an area known for its scattered reef systems and shipping-lane wrecks. The site is reached by boat, typically as part of a day trip or liveaboard route running through the Gubal Strait. It is a beginner dive with a maximum depth of around 18 metres, making it a manageable stop along that route.
