The Brother Islands one of the best diving spots in the world. The Islands – the Big Brother and the Little Brother – are two small exposed promontories that just come out of the water in the middle of the sea at around 60km from the Egyptian coastline. The Little Brother has a very high concentration of life in a much-reduced area. The walls are covered literally with sponges, anemones, and all sorts of hard and soft corals in an astonishing variety of colors and shapes. Of course, you will find here plenty of fish. It is not unusual to see sharks: hammerheads, thresher sharks, grey reef sharks, silvertip, and whitetip reef sharks. About one km north of the Little Brother lays the Big Brother. Situated, in the middle of the island, is a lighthouse. When it is not too windy, you can proceed to dive the wreck NUMIDIA which lies upon the reef on the northern side of the island between 5m and 80m. This 150m longship sunk in 1901 and is now completely covered with both hard and soft corals and gorgonians. At the NW side of the island, you will find the other wreck: the AIDA. This 82m long steamship sunk in 1957. The remaining pieces of the wreck are scattered all over the reef and just the backside of the hull can be found between 34m and 60m. It is nicely overgrown and worth visiting. Because of strong current and high waves, it is not easy to dive at the Brother’s. This safari is only for experienced divers.
The Daedalus Reef is a huge reef formation that lies at about 180km south of Brother Islands. The reef is surrounded by a sheer wall all around, featuring a plateau on its southern side that goes from 28m beside the reef to 40m on the edge of the drop-off. If the weather is good, try to get as far north as possible and drift along with one of the sides of the reef. Reef and hammerhead sharks are often spotted here. UW marine life is here more abundant than anywhere else, with schools of surgeons, fusiliers, carangids.
The Reef of Elphinstone, a truly legendary reef, is one of the most beautiful reefs in the Red Sea, with its north and south plateau, and the walls covered with soft corals, black corals, wire corals, and gorgonians. Hammerheads, oceanic whitetip sharks, and grey reef sharks can also be spotted here.
