Little Brother
The smaller island, about 1 km south of Big Brother, with deep walls on every side except the northern point, where a plateau sits around 40 m. The walls are covered in black coral and gorgonian fans, and the dense fish life attracts silvertip and grey reef sharks, great hammerheads, barracuda schools and dogtooth tuna.
