About New Venture
New Venture is a former survey vessel wreck off Orange Beach with wide cut-outs, multiple levels, and pass-throughs that reward trained divers comfortable with deeper profiles and overhead spaces. It is a large artificial reef reached by boat, and dives are usually planned around offshore weather windows, changing visibility, careful buoyancy control, and calm movement through open water and enclosed-looking spaces.
