Little Brother

Brothers Island, or El Akhawen, is a “must dive“ for every diver that visits Egypt. This dive site can be reached only via liveaboard boats. The location contains two islands, the small and the big island. This is a more advanced dive as it can have strong currents and deep drop-offs with lots of shark sightings.

South Plateau, extends from the southern tip of the Big Island. Beginning around 30m and extending some 500m south, this site sinks to 60m on the point. This plateau is around 20m wide and drops to over 80m off the sides. Current often flows from the north, making returning against current difficult.

Entry from the speedboat, with descent on a buoy. Beautiful coral blocks. On the top of these blocks is the largest anemone garden of El Quseir.

Beautifully overgrown wall, in the sandy bottom large coral blocks and a seagrass meadow with smaller beautiful coral blocks. Possibility of turtles.

Shore dive by minibus. Entry via a jetty. Entrance fee. Nice calm bay with lots of beautiful corals. Mostly only light current. Closed at the moment.

Beautiful reef in the south with magnificent soft corals and beautiful coral garden. Entrance and exit through a tunnel over the reef top.

A beautiful dive site with a lot of canyons inside the reef and small caves. The entrance is from the sandy shore. Amazingly colorful coral gardens and rich in marine life are found here.

Entry like a drift dive. At the beginning beautiful overgrown wall, followed by a gorgonian plauteau which ends in a beautiful coral garden.

The El Quadim house reef is located directly in the bay of the Mövenpick Hotel El Quseir and has with its 5000 years of history an eventful past (originally the oldest trading port of Egypt ancient amphorae & anchors).
