Would you rather dive a Wreck or Reef?

Depends, not all reefs and wrecks are the same. I am fortunate as a normal dive outing in my area consists of one wreck followed by two reef dives. Variety is the key IMO, so different reefs and wrecks are always welcomed.

Real wreck or Artificial reef?
I'll take a real wreck over a reef but a reef over an artificial reef.

My last dive brought vision of some crayfish, a sign, b-b-q, a toilet and a car.
I thought it was fabulous.
I guess I don't have a preference yet, but I'd assume that I'd like fishies more than dirty sunken boats.

It's a tricky question. Most reefs are..reefs.
Most "wrecks" are tourist attractions welded shut and made happy for the paying customers.
Either way you will see fish and if that is what you are paying for you will be fine.

No question, A reef dive. Humans can always drop a ship into the sea. But making a great reef... Now that's a challenge. I simply can not understand the fascination with wrecks. To me, the life found on the reef is far more enjoyable. Being knowledgeable about the animals that live there just adds to it. I can't wait to be back on a healthy reef again!
Not to sit on the fence or anything like that...
But I like doing both at the same time. A wreck overgrown with marine life is a sight to behold. The Yongala in Australia makes my top 10. I can also recall some lesser known sites that are wrecks of planes and ships that are just covered with growth and teeming with fish.
