I have one, and have used it for hooking wrecks a few times, but have found that it doesn't work very well if there is any significant current or swell. It will pop off fairly easily. We seem to have better luck with a standard anchor and chain, which we tie off to the wreck while diving, and then move and partially inflate a lift bag on before ascending (makes the anchor MUCH easier to recover).
I think it would work well for snagging a wreck and running a shot line, but I wouldn't leave
my boat on it.
