Big Brother
Big Brother is a remote Red Sea liveaboard dive with sharks and wrecks.
Local operator required
Liveaboard-only access and changing current make site knowledge important.
Steep coral walls, the Numidia and Aida wrecks, and strong currents make Big Brother a classic advanced Red Sea dive reached only by liveaboard.
About Big Brother
Big Brother is a remote Red Sea island dive with steep coral walls, wrecks, and classic liveaboard logistics. Divers come here for the chance of oceanic whitetips, hammerheads, grey reef sharks, silvertips, tuna, barracuda, and dense reef life along protected walls. The site is exposed and current-swept, so good buoyancy, controlled entries, and comfort with drift conditions matter more than casual sightseeing.
