I would suggest you never come to dive in UK waters, cos dive boats here don't 
anchor into wrecks. A shot line is put into the wreck, and the dive boat keeps 
on the move. Since the dive boat as a nice large diesel engine or two, and 
thus can move against the tide rather more easily than a diver, it seems to me 
better that the boat comes to the diver rather than the other way round.
