• 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.
