Dive-site story
The eastern wall of Big Brother plunges vertically into the open Red Sea abyss. Swept by oceanic currents, this sheer drop-off is smothered in immense gorgonian sea fan forests and soft corals. Pelagic encounters dominate the dive plan, with open-ocean predators cruising along the reef crest and cleaning stations.
Vast forests of towering gorgonian sea fans extending into deep water
Regular passes from oceanic whitetip, thresher, and grey reef sharks in the blue
Schools of giant trevally, dogtooth tuna, and barracuda hunting along the reef face
