Brothers Islands
Guests journey to the remote Brothers Islands, where the crystal-clear waters surrounding Little Brother and Big Brother reveal a true diver’s paradise. These volcanic islets are famed for their dramatic coral formations and rich marine biodiversity. Divers encounter vibrant schools of fish, barracudas, and pelagic species such as grey reef sharks, thresher sharks, and manta rays. Big Brother Island also holds two fascinating wrecks—the Numidia and the Aida II—both encrusted with coral and offering a glimpse into the Red Sea’s maritime history. The combination of wreck diving and thrilling marine life makes the Brothers Islands a highlight of any Red Sea safari.
Daedalus Reef
Further offshore lies Daedalus Reef, a large, isolated atoll that rises from the depths of the Red Sea. Known for its steep walls and flourishing coral gardens, Daedalus offers divers the chance to encounter large marine life in open water, including schooling barracudas, reef sharks, and the elusive hammerhead shark. Its remote location and minimal boat traffic ensure pristine conditions and abundant life, making Daedalus a favorite among experienced divers and underwater photographers seeking wide-angle scenes and pelagic encounters.
Elphinstone Reef
To the south, Elphinstone Reef offers a spectacular final chapter to this diving adventure. Renowned for its vertical walls, rich coral growth, and strong currents, Elphinstone presents ideal conditions for drift diving. Divers may spot napoleon wrasse, tuna, and schools of jacks, as well as the iconic oceanic whitetip shark patrolling the reef edges. The reef’s colorful soft corals and dynamic topography provide a stunning backdrop for memorable dives in one of the Red Sea’s most celebrated sites.
