Historic Red Sea wreck on a reef face.
Ulysses is a historic Red Sea wreck on the Gubal Seghir reef face. The wreck lies on its side with a shallow bow and a deeper stern, so the dive feels like a clean, readable tour of the structure rather than a penetration-heavy wreck. Expect coral growth, dense fish life, and occasional current on an exposed open-water site. It suits divers who are comfortable with boat entries and changing reef-face conditions.
