El Quseir, Red Sea, Egypt
Little Brother is an uninhabited, tear-shaped rock, around 170 m end to end, with a flat top barely above the waterline, about 2 km from Big Brother. In good conditions, the entire island can be circled on a single dive.
Underwater there is well-preserved hard and soft coral, along with black coral and large gorgonians. The reef is very well preserved, with table corals, gorgonians and healthy hard coral coverage, which makes it a strong dive even without sharks. Among the fish are grouper, anthias and schooling snapper and barracuda.
At the Brothers, high season usually runs from May to December; in summer the sea is often calmer, and in autumn and winter the sharks tend to come up to shallower waters.
