I did two reef dives with Lobster Pot Divers this past week in GC, one of which was next to the Kittiwake. Part of our group did the wreck and then a reef dive in a different location. Our two reef dive group, diving the Sand Chutes Reef, passed the Kittiwake twice while exploring the reef going to and from the dive boat, and I had the same negative reaction as I have had every other time that I have seen the wreck. Personally, I would not pass up any GC reef dive to spend a whole dive period on the wreck, and frankly do not understand the interest in it, but I know some divers like it. Perhaps many decades in the future, assuming we have not killed the ocean by then, the wreck would be of some interest to me if it is encrusted in coral, but by then my diving days, and perhaps I too, will be in the past.
By the way my dives with Lobster Pot were significantly less expensive than the ship's dive excursion, our reef/reef group had four divers and the wreck/reef group had three divers, and while the ship's dive excursion was cancelled, ours went as advertised.
