Curry/Zurick LCM
Local Name:
Curry/Zurick LCM
Depth:
Depth is approximately 60 feet.
Anchoring:
While Pat and Doug found this LCM by swimming along a cable from the "MAR Fill Coral Head", the "GBR " Coral Head" appears much closer and is probably the wiser place to anchor if you wish to minimize your swim.

Notes:
This LCM was discovered by Pat Zurick and Doug Curry in mid/late May 2005 while following a cable up from the "MAR Fill Coral Head". They actually came across the Bishop pair along the way. The same cable passes just off the bow of Bishop Upright. This is just a typical LCM. It lies upright in about 50-60 feet of water facing roughly SE.. The engines are pretty well exposed. To be honest, there was a pile of Coke bottles along the starboard side that caught my attention a little more than the wreck, so I didn'y spend a lot of time on the wreck.

A few words of caution are due here!
While I believe that this data is fairly accurate, one must apply some common sense when using this data. If the point of origin is a coral head, you may have anchored at a slightly different spot than I did and your bearing to the next attraction could be slightly different than mine. I suggest checking with your own GPS before rolling in!
Also, know roughly how fast you swim so that you know approximately how long it should take to reach the next attraction. You can (and likely will) miss things from time-to-time and you should know when to abort and turn around before you are too far from your boat.
I strongly urge you to try the shorter swims first and build your navigation skills. I have set the cutoff distance for this table to 750 feet, but that is a considerable challenge even for the best navigators. An error of more than a few degrees in poor visibility and you can easily miss your destination at the extreme ranges!
