Comments This is a thrill ride kind of dive. The current the day we went was ripping at 3+knots. We saw two wrecks, huge sections of bridge rubble, a huge loggerhead turtle, huge barracuda, Goliath Grouper and reef sharks.

The Gulf Stream is only about a mile offshore at Palm Beach so the boat ride out was less than 15 minutes from the dock.
