On board of the boat
Hurghada / Brother Island / Hurghada
Your diving program starts from Hurghada
Then you move to Abu Ramada There’s many dives to do
around this island. More specific, a drift dive around the
steep eastern wall with big fan corals and swim-troughs, a
drift dive north of the island, heading east to the drop
off at 25m, where you'll find a big cave, having a chimney
up to 25m. Further more you can dive on the eastern end
where you’ll find some ergs with a lot of life, a small
wreck at 5m, napoleon fishes, sweet lips, squid, rays,
giant morays,...Moving to The Brothers Islands that are
situated 67 km offshore east of El Quseir and south East
of Safaga. The smaller island covers an area of 0.1 square
km, while the other one covers 0.3 square km. A great
situation to meet pelagic and big fishes! The dive sites
are mostly wall dives and strong drop offs. Big Brother
has on the North west side some ship wrecks. The Aida II
an Italian ship which was carrying troops one night in
1957 when it hit Big Brother. A large wreck with much
intact superstructure, its shallowest point is at 15 m.
and ends below 45m. There are other older wrecks
scattered at depths between 9 and 40 meters including the
Numidia.
The little brothers; this site, the smaller companion of
Big Brother, is inferior in size only. The soft coral
growth here is so unbelievably rich that the upper 30m
(100ft) or so looks like a psychedelic crocheted cap over
the reef. Like Big Brother, this site attracts numerous
sharks, including gray reefs, white tip reefs,
hammerheads, tigers, and even the ominous oceanic white
tip. Even majestic whale sharks are always a tantalizing
possibility
When your boat moves to Abu Kafan Small finger-shaped reef
with lots of soft corals. There is a steep wall to at
least 100m you might see while diving in this area a
hammerhead also you will find large moray eel in hole and
a barracuda (> 1 m) at 40 cm distance.
Reaching to Middle Reef; in this area the colorful
cascades compete for your attention with sharks, sea
turtles and other wonders. You may even find yourself
swimming among wild dolphins.
Panorama Reef; it lies in the south of Safaga. Like Abu
Kafan you might see there a hammerhead. A circular reef
just touching the surface. You might see a turtle and a
small Napoleon wrasse. After the dive you may see also
wild dolphins.
Then your boat will return back again to Hurghada. |
