Like Winn Divers said, diving high-traffic areas is best done very early in the day, or during an "off" season. And his point about descending and surfacing as close to the boat as possible can't be over-stated on a lake as congested as Winnipesaukee. Case in point -- the ever-popular "Lady" wreck, located in one of the busiest coves in the Lake. My rule of thumb -- always shoot for the anchor line. And, yes, this calls for good navigational skills.

Methinks that the number of divers you'd find blocking a high-volume is extremely low. I've never seen it happen, would never do it myself, and can't think of anyone else who would. Never underestimate the lack of vision, experience, or common sense of anyone behind the wheel of any boat, and you'll always apply the appropriate level of caution.
