There is no need to fin if it creates bad viz, its better to pull yourself along using your hands.
And last of all if its a large ship make sure you leave the wreck down tide so not to drift into it during surfacing .

All good advice here, particularly the 'moving very slowly when following the edge of a wreck' bit; see Garf's execellent post 'Lost alone in a wreck at 45 mtr'!
