Keep in mind the buoys on the surface may not be directly over the wreck. I like the ideas of navigating 10 or 15 feet off the bottom to save gas and avoid deco.
Lots of interesting ideas for setting the course. You could follow a dragged anchor (or the boat could drag you, ha ha) but that's cheating. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but you could drop a few strobes on buoys at intervals, maybe 300 feet or so. Then just hit your checkpoints.
For straight line nav with decent viz I like to take a bearing on the furthest landmark I can line up and then visual nav to that. If you try to follow your compass the whole time, you might end up with a stiff arm and glazed eyes before you get half way.
