Diving Overview for Little Brother

Little Brother has a maximum diving depth of around 40 m / 130 ft and is suitable for all divers. The average visibility is 20+ metres and access to the dive site is by boat.

More Information

Little Brother is part of the Big Brother Islands (or El-Akhawein) that form part of the marine park around 6 hours sail from Hurghada.

Divers enter Little Brother at the northern point of the island where a section of the reef jets out to sea. This section is usually a fast drift dive where you will be able to see thresher sharks, greys or hammerheads pass you by when currents are strong!

On the southern side of Little Brother there are stunning soft corals covering a steep wall. At the base there is a forest of huge fan corals, small caves and overhangs harbouring rabbitfish, surgeonfish and moorish idols flowing effortlessly in and out of the reef.
