Location of the wreck of the Chikuzen in the BVI

[bvinut]

Hi all,

we were in the BVI chartering recently and, on the leg from Anegada to Sandy Cay, I wanted to stop at the Chikuzen wreck for a dive, but could not locate the buoy/s. I used the approximate position given on the British Admiralty Virgin Islands Leisure Folio, about 6 nm N of Great Camanoe, hove-to to look around but no luck. I guess I'll have to try again next year.
Anybody willing to share the (exact) position of the Chikuzen?
How many mooring buoys are there and how reliable?

Great dive locator Cam - thanks for sharing. I just entered some of my favorite sites in the Atlas.

Thanks a lot, camaraderie!
The BA Leisure Folio is off by almost 2 nm !!!
Now, just about one year of day-dreaming and I'm off to the Chikuzen ...

GPS datum shift?

Probably more like chart datum shift... Most GPS systems are WGS84 for the chart datum IIRC. Many of the charts in more remote regions are not.
