Boat dive to a purpose-sunk wreck; plan for depth, offshore weather windows, and a dive profile that stays within your certification.
About The LuLu (Wreck)
The LuLu is an offshore artificial-reef wreck off Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, with an upright hull, a shallow wheelhouse, and a deeper cargo hold that give the dive real multi-level structure. Schools of snapper, amberjack, tuna, spadefish, and other reef fish crowd the wreck, while the upper structure keeps the best part of the site within recreational limits. It is a boat-only wreck that rewards planning around weather, visibility, and depth.
