About

  • Brothers island
    The Brothers Islands are exclusive and secluded, reserved only for the lucky few. Imagine underwater mountains, coral reefs sloping into deep plateaus, and spectacular wall diving. You'll be surrounded by soft corals, gorgonian forests, and large fish like tuna, jacks, and snappers. And if you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of hammerheads, silvertips, and oceanic white tip sharks. Big Brother has 2 Red Sea wrecks - The Numidia and Aida. Keep an eye out for pelagic creatures as well. This spot is one of the most legendary diving sites in the Red Sea, so don't miss out!
     

  • Elphinstone reef
    Elphinstone's north and south tips are home to massive plateaus, spanning 100m wide and 20-40m deep. The underwater scene here is stunning, with soft corals, giant gorgonians, sponges and sea whips. If you're lucky, you'll see the Giant Trevally and Great Barracuda hunting, and reef sharks are always around. But the real stars of the show are the curious Oceanic White Tip sharks, who might sneak up on you for a closer look! It's best to go in October-December if you want to see these beauties. But, take note, diving here is only for advanced divers; the open ocean site has strong currents.
     

  • Daedalus reef
    A top-notch dive spot, aka Abu Kizan! This reef is huge, measuring 400 mts long & 100 mts wide and it's not connected to any other land. Plenty of chances to see pelagic fish and loads of vibrant coral. Since it's a Marine park, the reefs are in primo condition. Just keep in mind that like Brothers Islands, strong currents run from north to south along the steep walls, and windy days can create swells on the surface, making things a bit tricky. But with deep walls, drop-offs, tons of amazing hard coral formations, you won't regret checking out this oval-shaped reef with its very own lighthouse!
