Scuba Diving in Kamaran Islands, Yemen

The Southern Farasan Bank stretches South from Saudi Arabia into the northern waters of Yemeni Red Sea. These low lying sandy uninhabited islands, which include Mayun, Tiqfash, Kadman moving Southwards to Uqban and Kamaran are all within comfortable cruising of each other. Here you will find wonderful white sandy beaches where you can enjoy your time swimming and snorkeling.

All these islands and islets are surrounded with shallow fringing reefs with a wide variety of corals and associated fish and marine life. Many logoons offer ideal habitat for thriving green mangroves, some of the most diverse and important Eco-systems on this planet. These islands are famous through history for their sea turtle nesting grounds, which lay their eggs in the soft sandy beaches. Uqban is a beautiful natural anchorage with some isolated sandy bays to explore and a chance to meet some local fishermen.

Diving takes place on the fringing coral reefs of the islands, as well as the many shoals that exist in the area. Six-Foot Rocks offer diving on a rocky plateau with great schools of reef fishes. Large brightly colored lobsters are sometimes found and make a great addition to the menu! This area is little surveyed and offers plenty of exploratory diving.
