I'm interested in any ideas as to the best way to anchor or dive this wreck.
It is in 80msw, small, surrounded by reef and prone to huge currents and big
seas. The last 2 times we have tried the anchor was on reef and the next
time we tried with a shot line it  a) ploughed a furrow and was miles away
from the wreck by the time we got down due to huge current and b) the bouy
was dragged underwater(35m) due to the drag caused by 3 divers in full kit. 
The only solution appears to be to anchor and if it has not stuck in 30secs
to retreive it and try again as it will most likely be on reef. The anchor
often pulls out however due to the drag of the divers descending the line
when there is current. 
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
