Hurricane or Whirlwind for the Brothers

[Mike Ward]

Warning - statement of the blindingly obvious coming up - Sharm to Brothers is a long way, which is why the weather can blow the trip. The problem is rarely getting the boat there, it's getting the boat there with divers in any mood (Or fit state) to dive, but it's a great itinerary when it works (Check dive then cross to Abu Nuhas, head south overnight for a day at each of the Brothers (Including Numidia and Aida on Big Brother), cross back to Salem Express and work north via a wreck off Hurghada and overnight at Gubal, finish with Rosalie Moller then Thistlegorm and back to Sharm).

If you want to dive wrecks it's a better bet than a standard Brothers trip, but it does get blown out. If you want to be sure of diving the Brothers go from Hurghada/Marsa Alam and accept there will be fewer wrecks.
