Service Club (looking for the P47) did not find it
winds from ENE
tide outgoing
some swells, no current, no hint of red tide
20 fsw, vis 3 ft
lots of jellyfish with 4 foot long tentacles! suit up if you are going out to dive
 
Used to dive Alhambra a lot.... was really only place to go. I'm meeting a Dive Buddy later this week in Venice and I'm seeing more post of Service Club dives. I'm familiar with Venice area, is that down near Brohard park and Sharkey's??? And can some one give a weather conditions update, please

Service Club is just north of the Venice Pier, near Sharky's. winds have been out of the west and this week we are having morning thunderstorms. Varying reports of viz. i was not out last weekend but a local boat charter said they had 5 ft viz. red tide has been patchy, a little worse this week due to the west winds. from www.visitbeaches.org

Thanks @divindiva69...... I recalled after post that Service Club is near the USCG station. I'm down in Charlotte County but not near the coast and had forgot about Red Tide till I saw an update on news :wink: I know with west winds it makes for a crappy dive, plus now we are getting morning showers!!!! I may try Saturday and hope for best but expect a DND :(
