Brothers Islands
Brothers Islands (Big and Little Brother) are two small isolated promontories that just come out of the water in the middle of the Red Sea at some 60 km from the coast. They are one of the best diving spot in the world! Little Brother has a very high concentration of wildlife in a reduced area. The walls are covered literally with sponges, anemones and all sorts of soft coral 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 1 km north, Big Brother showing on the surface with a lighthouse in the middle. If the current is not too strong, you can continue diving to 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 gorgonians. At the NW side of the island you will find the other wreck: the Aïda II.

Daedalus reef
Daedalus Reef is a huge reef located 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 28 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. Oceanic White Tip Sharks and Hammerheads are often spotted here and for lucky divers, maybe a Manta Ray

Elphinstone reef
A Red Sea legend! One of the most beautiful reefs, with its north and south plateau’s covered in hard and soft corals. Hammerheads, Oceanic White Tip Sharks and Grey Reef Sharks can also be spotted here on a regular basis. This truly is an awesome reef…
