Hi,Me and my friend are going to Hurghada in two weeks. We've been in touch with Colona divers who don't arrange day trips to The Brothers. Does anyone know of any company that does? Or to any other place which is frequented by sharks?No liveaboards this time, only day trips.ThanksMaciej

no day trips to brothers
the least you can do for brothers is a 3-4 liveaboard.
Also no shark-known sites near hurghada.. sorry !

If I remember right, it was about a seven hour trip from Hurghada to the Brothers, so the geography is against you.

The Brothers can't be reached by day boat from anywhere. You could go to Elphinstone Reef by day boat, but not from Hurgahda. It is 20 km of Marsa Alam/Port Ghalib and thats is a 30-40 minute flight from Hurghada.
In Hurghada you might consider Voodoo Divers: Diving in Hurghada: Voodoo Divers. Diving with the dutch touch! to go diving with.
Here is what can be reached from Hurghada approximately: Duikkaart

elphinstone is almost 250-300km south of hurghada
Why go by boat?
just get a taxi and go dive from quseir or marsa alam, they have daily trips, normal ones not with long rides (just 1.5-2 hours) to elphinstone.
You can arrange 2 days diving there with accommodation or just 1 day diving (though I think no operator would allow you to elphinstone without checking your diving skills) and the operator should help you with transportation as well
you can contact redsea diving safari, they go to elphinstone using ribs from their marsa shagra camp,
