Lists like this are always highly subjective, but I am afraid I am a sucker for them. British magazine, Diver, published this recent list in its travel guide. It definitely reflects a more European perspective on the best wrecks, but plenty of interesting discussion points. Caribbean is heavily represented, with four. All wrecks are at recreational depths except the Papoose.
* I thought that was an odd one to pick out of all the great wreck dives in North Carolina...
Sadly I have only done two on the list so far (but I have over 400 dives on one of them!). Has anyone done 3 or more?
