North of the Red sea is the home of many popular dive-sites full of marine life and corals and the real collection of wrecks of different times The Brother Islands, the tops of two undersea mountains rising from the depth, can be explored while diving the Red Sea about 50 nautical miles off-shore, near the town of Quseir, Part of the Marine Park, they offer
Breathtaking underwater scenery, wall diving along their entire perimeter and the possibility to spot a wide
Variety of pelagic fish
Their walls are covered with the carpet of soft corals of all colors, huge 3m gorgonians, black corals and forests of
Fan corals, creating a true feast for the eyes, big tuna, shoals of jack fish and snappers cruise in the blue
Accompanied by hammerheads, grey reef, silver-tip, silky and oceanic white-tip sharks and mantas.
The Thresher shark, an oceanic specie, as well as the magnificent Whale shark, occasionally spotted close to the reef, circle the walls of the Brothers on a regular basis. While diving in this part of the Red Sea, moon fish have been spotted near the reefs.
On the walls of the Big Brother there are two wrecks leaning towards them. Aida II, Egyptian armies supply vessel, which sank in 1957 suffered from storms and currents but the back part of the ship can still be explored. Numidia, a cargo ship, sank in 1901. It lies vertically from 25m down to 70m. Both wrecks are covered with soft and hard corals and they are a real treat.
