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.

Shore dive with the minibus. Entry through a hole in the reef roof directly into the reef at 10m depth. Beautiful coral garden with single reef blocks.
