I've discovered the location of a uncharted wreck in my area and would like some advice while the planning for the dives are still in it infancy.

Details:

-After some research I discovered that its probably a WWII Flower Class Corvette approx 65m long.

-depth is 250'

-current can reach up to 2 knots but they are reasonable during slack tide

-the wreck may or may not be covered in fishing nets.

The only thing I'm really worried about is the 2 knot current. I would like to stay away from drifting deco as the wreck is really close to shipping lanes and I'm sure that using a jon line is feasible but will be very uncomfortable. Are there any other options I can consider?
