Wreck Site Mapping Database?

[Deac in the Wake]

Does anyone know of a semi-reliable source (why be too demanding, right?) of underwater wreck site maps? I'm talking more about wreck site layout and less about precise measurements (relatively to scale, though)?

I know of several great sites that provide Loran and GPS coordinates but I'm looking more for diver or archeological survey maps to orient on a dive site when diving it for the first time. I love Art to Media's maps but those are way beyond what I'm looking for.

Something along these lines: http://www.archaeology.ncdcr.gov/images/ncarch/huron.gif

I realize I may have to just search on each wreck independently but I'm hoping that somewhere there may be a site that compiles these sorts of maps centrally.

Often times dive shops will have maps of varying detail and accuracy for local wrecks.

Many socal shops have maps of the HMCS Yukon and the Ruby E. In the Keys you'd probably find the Bib and the Duane (if I have my Florida geography correct). In the panhandle they likely have Oriskany maps.

May be something you can find online as well.

Hope this points you in the right direction!
