              AND 15D-14 AS ADOPTED PURSUANT TO
        SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I, Frank J. Drohan, certify that:

1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A of
Omagine, Inc. ("the Registrant") for the period ended September
30, 2008;

2. Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of
the circumstances under which such statements were made, not
misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly
report;

3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly
present in all material respects the financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows of the Registrant as of,
and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report;

4. I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-
15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Exchange Act rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-
15(f)) for the Registrant and I have:

a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
such disclosure controls and procedures  to be designed under my
supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
Registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made
known to me by others within those entities, particularly during
the period in which this quarterly report is being prepared; and

b) designed such internal control over financial reporting, or
caused such internal control over financial reporting to be
designed under my supervision, to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
<PAGE>

c) evaluated the effectiveness of the Registrant's disclosure
controls and procedures and presented in this report my
conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this
report based on such evaluation; and

d) disclosed in this report any change in the Registrant's
internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
the Registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the Registrant's
fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Registrant's internal control over financial
reporting; and


5. I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of
internal control over financial reporting, to the Registrant's
auditors and the audit committee of Registrant's board of
directors:

a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
design or operation of internal control over financial reporting
which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Registrant's
ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
information; and

b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
or other employees who have a significant role in the
Registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
