About Big Brother South

Big Brother South is the southern plateau on Big Brother, a deep offshore site known for shark action and current-driven wall diving. The profile runs out into a long plateau before dropping away on the sides, so the dive is more about line choice and current management than sightseeing on a flat reef. Liveaboard entries are normal, and the return can be demanding when the north flow is running. Expect pelagics and sharks rather than sheltered reef life, with coral strongest along the walls and plateau edge.
