Liveaboard-only deep wall dive at Big Brother East.

About Big Brother East
Big Brother East is the east-side wall dive at the Brothers Islands in Egypt's Red Sea, reached by liveaboard and set in open offshore water with steep reef walls and shark territory. It is an advanced profile built for teams that are comfortable with current, deeper sections, and the kind of liveaboard logistics that come with a remote marine-park site. The draw is the combination of blue water, coral walls, and pelagic action rather than any easy shore access or leisurely terrain.
