Best for advanced divers, 8-80m, boat entry, strong current.
The Numidia is a steel cargo wreck situated on the northern tip of Big Brother Island, accessible by boat from Safaga. The site features a significant depth range, with the stern at 8 metres and the bow descending to 80 metres. This advanced dive is defined by strong, unpredictable currents that can reverse direction rapidly. Visibility varies significantly, reaching up to 30 metres. The wreck structure is heavily colonised by gorgonians, soft corals, and plate corals. Divers should be aware of the overhead environment within the wreck, sharp metalwork, and the potential for surf on the exposed northern side. Technical training is required for penetration, and shark protocols should be reviewed prior to entry.

Current direction here can reverse quickly and without much warning, so brief with your guide immediately before the dive and agree on a clear abort signal if conditions deteriorate mid-water. Entry from the boat requires timing the swell carefully, particularly when there is surf running on the exposed northern side.
