Dive 251, SS Ulysses, Gubal Island, Red Sea, 02/12/2014

In 14:41, dive time 47 minutes, max depth 25.5 metres.

Small Gubal Island: SS Ulysses wreck. Inside old hull - a bit scary. Some very large butterfly fish & others. A cloud of glass fish at exit, with several scorpion fish hunting. Black & white striped nudibranch. After that not much, a bit boring & suddenly dolphins!!! At first in the distance, then all around us - maybe 6, a little singing. One swims right under me! Fantastic!!! SMB & drift a bit, but no SMB problems :).

SS Ulysses built Newcastle 1871, sank 1887, carrying quicksilver (mercury) & drums of electrical cable from London to Far East.
