Early morning dive, no dolphins today. Lion fish are sleepy - one with all fins withdrawn. Lots of lovely soft coral colours. Feel fine inside wreck, & strobe mostly working again. Bertie busy taking photos, & I wait on my SMB, watching out for dolphins. Glass fish inside wreck nice!

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