Ok- so maybe I am way off, but the Copenhagen is a pile of rubble and a plaque at the south end of the Pompano drop off reef balls. There is nothing to penetrate and no real secrets. Tie up at the south end and you are there.

Right but is there a specific buoy number?
 
Taken from the official Copenhagen pamphlet. As Matt said, no real penetration anymore, not that you should be considering penetrating any wrecks at this stage of your dive training.

The wreck of Copenhagen is located in 15-30 feet of water just outside the second reef on the Pompano Ledge, 3.6 miles south of Hillsboro Inlet and 3/4 of a mile off-shore Lauderdale-By-The-Sea at latitude 26° 12.349’ N and longitude 80° 05.108’ W. The site is adjacent to reef buoys #3 and #4. To avoid damage to the shipwreck or to coral and reef structure, please use mooring buoys. Remember to display a “divers down” flag when diving or snorkeling. A laminated underwater guide is available from local dive shops.
 
Be sure to get a pic of the plaque

Do you mean this is not the plague of the Copenhagen? Dang, was diving in the wrong spot.

Well i have 4 years of diving i don't go into any natural wreck only artificial wrecks, I do not go into the wreck unless i can see my way out and i don't go in wrecks that require me to use a line/ reel. :D
 
Same here. Been on the Speigel several times, but only where I can see my way out.
 
Daylight ROCKS on Wreck dives!!

Chug
Is afraid of the dark, except for night dives from the beach.
