About this dive site
Remote Red Sea pinnacles, walls, wrecks and pelagic sharks.
Big Brother’s lighthouse island and Little Brother’s slender cone rise from deep water with sheer walls, gorgonian forests and the wrecks Numidia and Aida. Oceanic whitetip and grey reef sharks often patrol the blue; thresher and hammerhead sightings happen in season. Liveaboard crews treat the Brothers as an advanced, weather-dependent highlight.
Open-water and liveaboard schedules hinge on swell and current - expect early starts and flexible routing. Calendar peak is March - November, but skippers still move sites when wind, swell or current change. Book with a crew that knows Brothers Islands day to day, not just the map pin.
