The Brothers Islands

About this site

Big Brother and Little Brother are two remote limestone pillars rising from the deep Red Sea, accessible only by liveaboard. Their sheer walls are plastered with pink and orange soft corals and attract oceanic species rarely seen in shallower sites, including thresher sharks, hammerheads, and silky sharks. The north plateau of Big Brother also hosts two impressive wreck dives — the Numidia and the Aida.
