Lupus is a boat-dived tugboat wreck in the Recife wreck park. The wreck is compact but still easy to read, with two large chimneys and a well-preserved engine room among the main landmarks. Huge schools of yellow-striped grunts can pack the site, and groupers, snappers, rays, nurse sharks, and other reef fish add to the traffic. It suits experienced wreck divers who want a deep but well-preserved artificial reef with strong fish action.
