The Little Brother has a very high concentration of life in a much reduced area. The walls are covered literally with sponges, anemones and all sorts of soft corals alcyonarian in an astonishing multiplicity of colors and shapes. Of course you will find here plenty of fish. It is not unusual to see sharks: hammerheads, thresher sharks, greysharks, silvertip and whitetip reef sharks.

About 1 km north of the Little Brother lays the Big Brother. At the westside, in the middle of the island, is a lighthouse.
When it is not too windy, you can proceed to dive the wreck Numidia which lies upon the reef on the northern side of the island between 10 and 80 m. This 150 m long ship sunk 100 years ago and is now completely covered with both hard and soft corals and goronias. This is a fantastic view.
At the NW side of this island you will find the other wreck: the Aida. This 82 m long steam ship sunk 1957. The remaining pieces of the wreck are scattered all over the reef and just the back side of the hull can be found between 30 and 60 m. It is nicely overgrown and worth to visit.

The Daedalus Reef is a huge reef formation that lies at about 180 km south of Brother Island. The reef is surrounded by a sheer wall all around, featuring a plateau in its southern side that goes from 30 m beside the reef to 40 m on the edge of the drop off. If the weather is good, try to get far north at possible and drift along on of the sides of the reef. Reef and hammerhead sharks are often spotted here. UW life is here more abundant than anywhere else, with schools of surgeons, fusiliers, carangids....

The Elphinstone Reef is one of the best diving spots in Egypt. You can see there wonderful plateaus, breath-taking drop offs, with beautiful gorgonians, black corals. You can see there a lot of big fishes. For example: barracudas, dolphins, sharks.
