Brothers Island 

They are pears of tiny island located 200Km south of Ras Mohamed, 70Km off shore. They rise from the abyssal depth, full force of open sea current, offers some of dramatic wall diving with fantastic coral reef, large pelagic and 2 wrecks

Big Brother Island the larger of the two islands, it is an oblong landmass 400m long easily identified by lighthouse.

South side of the reef is a plateau starting from 30m till 65m. The rest of the reef is a vertical wall with coral growth such a Gorgonians, sea whips, soft coral, stony coral.  The Marine life is more than impressive full with tuna, jacks, snappers, hammerheads, antipatharians, grey reef sharks, silvertips, mantas and oceanic white tip sharks, thresher sharks.

Big Brother is also home for 2 Red Sea wrecks, laying quite close to each other and to the north point.

The Numidia is a former 130m long British cargo ship that sunk in 1901. She was carrying locomotives wheels that can still be found. The Numidia wrecks now lies almost vertically on the steep reef slope with the top being at 18m and the stern being very deep at 86m.

The Aida was a 75m transport supply ship, sank in 1957. Her bow rests at 30m and the stern lies at 60m.

Little Brother Island is located 1 Km on the east of Big Brother Island, it is shaped like a rain drop. Deep walls surround the island on all sides except the northern point, where the reef slopes very slowly away from the island before dropping to a deep plateau at 40m. This plateau is one of the best places in the Red Sea for diving with sharks. Silvertips and grey reef sharks are spotted frequently in the area as well great hammerheads.

The walls covered with black corals, mammoth gorgonian fans with exceptionally dense hard and soft corals covering the spectrum of colors.

Deadalus reef lies in open sea almost half way to Saudi Arabia, around 180 km south of Brothers island, less than 800m across reef, marked by a lighthouse.

The reef has steep drops on the east, north and south sides, all offering good diving. The southern side offers excellent shelter from the north winds.

The profile of the reef running from the surface to depth of 70m or more. On the west side drop off with anemone city and massive blue coral growth.

The north is open water and current bring the best selection of pelagic fish, moving down to east coast. This spot is home for hammerhead sharks.

The reef is richly developed throughout, with good coral and fish life and large schooling species such as tuna, barracuda, snapper, unicorn fish and surgeonfish.

Elphinston,
one of the best dive sites on the world, located 30Km North of Marsa Alaam, 12Km of shore. Elphinston is very tiny reef as cucumber shaped hanging at deep water offering a spectacular wall drift diving with wonderful corals and curious Oceanic Whitetip reef sharks.
Under south plateau there is a large Arch 48-65m. It’s a dream for the tech divers.
