| This is a fascinating combination of the wrecks of the "North" and "The Brothers". A divers dream come true.
To the north of Hurghada the Red Sea splits in two arms embracing the Sinai, the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aquaba. The Mediterranean is connected to the Red Sea via the man made Suez Channel that opens into the busy strait of Gubal, east of Hurghada.
The strait of Gubal being laden with reefs is consequently the resting place of many shipwrecks including the ‘wreck graveyard’ at Abu Nuhas, Rosalie Moller and the SS Thistlegorm. The northern wreck safari also has fabulous dive sites to offer like Bluff Point or Blind Reef with their colourful soft corals.
To those who know it, the two islands are located in the middle of the Red Sea, representing some of the most challenging but nevertheless most beautiful and enchanting dive sites in the Red Sea.
Due to the strong currents that frequently hit the Brothers, you can expect to find some of the most fantastic marine life in the Red Sea. It’s a daily encounter with sharks or other predators.

The highlights of the big brother are the fascinating, gravity defying shipwrecks of Aida and Numbia with their amazing growth of soft corals.
The diver considering a visit to the brother should have some experience in that sort of diving.
Due to the fact that "The Brothers" are exposed to wind and elements, this itinerary is only possible between spring and autumn.
The sailing distance is between 350 and 450 km depending on where we start the trip.
