Comments	Dove the Vandenberg, newly dropped wreck, 500+ feet long with lots of cool superstructure. Wreck is in 140 feet to the sand but you don't need to go there, all of the good stuff is at 90 feet or above and the superstructure is great: there are two radar dishes and more towers. There was a bit of current, not ripping. The viz was good for Key West diving, 35 feet at times. As this boat stays down there will be more life, already a mid-sized minnow cloud there and a few small tropicals. The biggest problem with this dive is that the second tank is on a "reef" and if you've dove in KW you probably know that the reefs are basically wastelands and the viz there is about 10 feet on a good day. Good news is that South Point divers will double dip the Vandy when requested, we were told. That's the only way to dive in KW. South Point is a good dive operation, professional, take safety seriously, and the boat is comfortable.
