The Brother Islands
are one of the best diving spots in the world. The
Islands - the Big Brother and the Little Brother
- are two small isolated promontories that just
come out of the water in the middle of the sea at
some 60 km from the coast.
The
Little Brother has a very high concentration of
life in a very reduced area. The walls are covered
literally with sponges, anemones and all sorts of
soft coral alcyonarian 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, Grey Sharks, Silver Tip and White Tip
Reef Sharks.
About one km north of the Little Brother lies 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 10 and 80 m. The wreck is completely
covered with both hard and soft corals and gorgonias.
At the NW side of the island you will find the other
wreck: the "AIDA". The remaining pieces
of the wreck are scattered all over the reef and
just the back side of the hull can be found between
35 and 60 m. It is nicely overgrown and worth to
visit.
Because of strong current and possibly high waves
it is not easy to dive at the Brother's.
This safari is for experience divers.
The Daedalus Reef
is a huge reef formation that lies at about 180
km south of Brother Islands. The reef is surrounded
by a sheer wall all around, featuring a plateau
in its southern side that goes from 30 m beside
the reef to 40 m on the edge of the drop-off. If
the weather is good, try to get as far north as
possible and drift along one of the sides of the
reef. Reef and hammerhead sharks are often spotted
here. UW life is here more abundant than anywhere
else, with schools of surgeons, fusiliers, carangids…
The Elphinstone
Reef is one of the best diving spots in Egypt. You
can see there wonderful plateaus, breath-taking
drop offs, with beautiful Gorgonians, black Corals.
You can see there a lot of big fishes. For example
Barracudas, Dolphins, Sharks.
