Brothers Island

Brothers Island: The Wild West of the Red Sea

The Brothers Islands (El Akhawein) are the stuff of Red Sea legend. Located smack in the middle of nowhere, these two isolated pinnacles rise up from the abyss, acting as the ultimate magnet for pelagic action. This is not a place for a casual drift; it is high-energy, current-swept wall diving where you hang in the blue and wait for the landlords to show up. It is arguably the best place in the world to encounter the inquisitive Oceanic Whitetip Shark (Longimanus), a bold predator that patrols these reefs with an entourage of pilot fish. It is raw, remote, and absolutely thrilling.

Why We Chose This Sticker Design

You can't tell the story of the Brothers without the lighthouse. We used a split-shot to feature the iconic Victorian-era lighthouse with its distinct red and white stripes, standing guard over the barren rock. But the real star is below the surface. We illustrated the Oceanic Whitetip with its signature rounded, paddle-like fins and pilot fish companions to capture the exact silhouette divers scan the blue for. We set this against a vertical wall dropping into the deep to emphasize the sheer, bottomless nature of these offshore pinnacles.
