SB Venice Beach Dive

[The Chairman]

I wonder if Captain Jaime is still doing the Aristikat? He was great. But for this, I think I would rather do a shore dive. My biggest haul was 706 teeth on a single HP120 (3 hours). With a rebreather I could stay down for six+ hours and spend time both near and far. @ROXANNE @cardzard @sphyon and @BHB ScubaTroll need to be in on this.

Hampton Inn & Suites is currently $132 per night. We've stayed there. It's pretty nice. Very close to Robie's Seafood restaurant and convenient to VDC.

Let me know when, and I will arrange to be in VB for it.

If we can get some folk there that know what they are doing, heck yeah, let's do the shore dive.

Jen-ney knows how to find teeth!

The trick is to go so slow, that you're almost going 'backards'. Look for straight black lines and angles.

With the shore dive, we get to have more than six and meet on the beach. We also used to do this the Saturday after Turkey day and deep fry turkeys on the beach. So fun.

Makes me sometimes rethink my decision to move to Utah. But, well, you know, the diving here is, uh, "pretty awesome." I guess.

The DNY goons used to do an annual T Day season turkey fry/gathering/dive, but the water at Dutch Springs in PA was a bit less inviting by then than I'm assuming it is at Venice Beach

OK, so let's try to get a timeline on this.

Beach dive. Rendezvous at XXXXX about 0900. Gear up and be headed to the water by 1000. Dive as long as your tank will allow. Reassemble and count noses at original location. Change clothes and head to Sharky's or Robie's Reef for food and celebratory liquid. For those who can, return the next day and do it again.

Does that sound about right?

Pick a day. We are pretty open.

Sounds like fun! I'm going to cheat and bring a rebreather!

Non moving dive flag along with no visible bubbles, LOL. Definitely spells beach lifeguard drill thinking dead diver underwater laying on the sand for 3 hours.

They need the practice
