Drift into it, come up and shoot lift bags , or take the flag down with you on a normal float and pole reeled up close, and let it up when you leave the wreck. If the boat lets you go and drifts the bottom time and then motors back upcurrent, you wil intersect no matter what happens other than overstying, in which case they look back downcurrent. If the current is a rip (one way on top, another on bottom) send one man back up to report to the boat operator. - G On Wed, 6 Nov 1996, <anscott@ns*.co*.au*> wrote: >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.
