Dive Brothers Islands, Egypt

The Brothers, or El Akhawein, are two small islands in the middle (width-ways) of the Red Sea. Big Brother and Little Brother are a 5 minute boat ride apart. The Brothers have never been a highly dived site, due to their inaccessible position 100 miles offshore in the middle of the (southern Egyptian) Red Sea opposite Al Quseir. The larger Brother is home to a lighthouse manned by the military. Often surrounded by wild currents, the scenary makes for some wonderful dives. Add to this the high likelihood of seeing sharks, and you're guaranteed fantastic experiences. Little Brother is often preferred for sheer decorativeness and is famous for hammerhead sharks, which cruise their territory at 30m (and deeper) on the southern side.
