Comments	I have been out with many operators. Van's is the best with whom I have gone. The boat is large and very fast. Everything is drift diving. One can go by one's self or with a guide in a group. There are a lot of fish in West Palm, more fish than in much more publicized destinations. There are large fish in West Palm, large Goliath Groupers are common, it is generally turtle heaven, and sharks are frequently seen.. There are many wrecks,sunken planes a lot of stuff around. There is less algae than in the Bahamas, I haven't come across anything that I would call a wall, but, the coral is looking better. Every time I go down there, I am feeling like it is a better and better option. Entries are giant strides off the stern and Van's crew will do whatever it takes to help people with deficits.
