Why dive here
Lulu Reef is a reef dive in California, United States. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest July, August, September.
Lulu Reef, off the California coast, offers an intermediate dive down to 13 metres. We find it's best for divers comfortable with cooler waters and kelp forest environments. You'll typically encounter schooling fish, various rockfish, and the occasional bat ray cruising the sandy patches. It's a solid choice for a relaxed afternoon exploring the local sub-tidal zone.
