Big Brother

Big Brother is one of the two legendary Brothers Islands, located in the open sea about 60 km off the Egyptian coast. This small island is famous for its sheer walls, covered in lush coral gardens, strong currents, and abundant marine life.

Divers can experience thrilling drift dives, encounters with grey reef sharks, thresher sharks, hammerheads and the famous oceanic whitetip sharks. The waters are also teeming with barracudas, tunas, jackfish, snappers and schools of fusiliers.

A special highlight of Big Brother is the wrecks of the Numidia and Aida, which have become stunning artificial reefs, now encrusted with soft and black corals.

At the top of the island stands a historic lighthouse, built in 1883. Occasionally, divers are allowed to visit, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the open sea.

Diving at Big Brother requires experience and good preparation, but those who venture here will be rewarded with unforgettable underwater adventures in one of the Red Sea’s most iconic locations.
