Best for intermediate divers, 12-40m, boat entry, moderate current.
Oma Sukan is a boat-access reef and wall site located off Safaga. The topography features a dramatic drop-off that descends from 12 metres to 40 metres, with an average depth of 20 metres. Divers experience moderate currents, making this an intermediate-level drift dive. Visibility typically ranges between 15 and 30 metres. Due to the potential for strengthening currents and the significant depth, divers must coordinate exit points with the boat crew before entry. Maintain distance from the reef wall to avoid contact with stonefish or scorpionfish, and monitor depth gauges closely throughout the dive.

Plan your dive to run with the current rather than against it, and brief your group on the exit point before you enter since the drift can carry you further than expected. Check locally for the most current boat operators and conditions on the day.
