- Brother Islands
The Brother Islands (Arabic: El Achawein – The
Brothers) are small islands built by tectonic
activity in the middle of the Red Sea, far from the
routes of the day boats. The “Big Brother” is
equipped with a lighthouse. Underwater, the brothers
are among the best the Red Sea has to offer. The
wrecks of Numidia and Aida in the north are covered
with dense soft corals, in the blue water sharks or
large tuna fish often swim by. Loading of the wrecks
is scattered everywhere.But the Brothers are more
famous for their shark populations. Gray reef
sharks, Oceanic White Tip sharks, Thresher sharks,
Hammerhead sharks or Silky sharks. A good place for
Thresher sharks is the southern plateau in the
morning, where they regularly visit the cleaning
station. The “Little Brother” is almost more
beautifully overgrown and covered with colorful soft
corals. A cleaning station on the northern tip also
attracts sharks of all kinds.
- Daedalus Reef
Abu Kizan, so the Egyptian name is a large, almost
circular reef, about 200 nautical miles south of the
Brother Islands. Although it has no actual land, a
lighthouse was built on the reef to warn the ships
of the nearby shipping route.Daedalus is large
and beautifully covered with hard and soft corals.
The dive groups are scattered along the reef,
keeping another group further away. A long plateau
in the south of the reef has already enabled the
other Manta encounter.
The highlight of the Daedalus is the resident
Hammerhead shark school, which is mostly located in
the north of the reef. Also, individual hammerhead
sharks have regularly sighted in the blue around the
reef. Also Thresher sharks, Oceanic Whitetips, gray
reef sharks, silky sharks and occasionally a tiger
shark.
- Elphinstone
One of the most famous reefs of Egypt is the
Elphinstone Reef, which is located near Marsa Alam,
which is approached on many tours on the first or
last day.A long reef with a plateau on the north
and south side. Both plateaus are wonderful to dive
and the whole reef is characterized by soft coral
growth in every imaginable color. The long
Norplateau cannot always be dived due to excessive
currents but offers unforgettable moments when one
glances over the top, hovering in the blue to see a
shark.
All kinds of sharks have been seen on Elphinstone!
The southern plateau is directly below the most
common anchorage and can be easily dived from the
boat. There are often also turtles and the usual
colorful reef dwellers.
