From ScubaDiving magazine;
The LuLu, Alabama’s first purpose-sunk ship wreck suitable for scuba diving, has recently joined the largest artificial reef program in the United States approximately 17 nautical miles south of Perdido Pass and Orange Beach (+29° 59’ 50" / -87° 33’ 00") off Alabama’s Gulf Coast. Artificial reefs provide a sustainable, environmentally friendly structure for marine life to inhabit and scuba diving enthusiasts to explore.
The newest reef wreck is at the perfect depth for beginner diver certification with 50-foot depth clearance at the top of the freighter while also challenging the experienced recreational diver with a bottom level depth of 115 feet. The marine village gathering in the caverns of its hull beckons.
