Hey Josh that thing looks a little better than 4 inches... The measurement is taken from the tip of the tooth to the corner of the root diagonaly. By eyballing your pic it looks to be almost 4 1/2 inches. The broken one was def 4 1/2! Nice job cleaning it up. That was prob the best find of...

it is pretty easy to spot the venice meg... It is a shame most of the mare full of sea creatures and coral. They are a PITA to clean.

Those teeth on beggar didn't look too friendly... In fact they looked hungry! I am suprised though because i thought dolphins being aggressive with humans was pretty rare! Here are the larger finds

Wow what a dive today! We(myself and losttreavelerfl) started off towards the westish end of the boneyard and preceded west on the bottom... kind of an exploritory dive away from the high traffic areas. We hit some white sandyish/ shelly bottom and i kind of thought to myself that this wouldnt...

i will be there sunday the 15th... maybe we will see you out there.

Yup... they have gone after my fingers before in Venice. Pretty ballsy little fish going after your lip with the regulator and bubbles!

yup mako

While at Florida West Scuba yesterday I heard a report of a death of a diver off Venice... No one had specific details but from what i was hearing they thought it was a "heart attack or something" and that they thought it was a shore diver. This all supossedly happened on Saturday. Any more...

Thanks Dr Frank great write up I appreciate you taking the time to share... i do have a few ?'s I just got back from home depot and they didn't have any of those connectors in 1 1/4 schedule 40... I considered moving down to 3/4 inch because they had a wider selection but again didn't have...

thanks for the update!!! do we get pictures of your haul?

wow whats the measurments on that sucker?

Well, Yesterday because of my friend being uncomfortable i only got a total bottom time of maybe an hour all day. First dive about 30 minutes Second solo dive about the same... I had some boat problems anchor drag and some weight issues at the stern i am working on so i didn't want to leave it...

which boat were you on Walter? your own, scuba west, or maybe beach dive?

Faust , In your experience have you noticed any difference since when you first started in venice to now (other than the crowds that is) as far as the ammount/quality of finds on a given day? I have always wondered what the venice beds were like say 20-30 or more years ago.

Well... i can answer my own question and maybe it can help someone else out. Trip Report - Bone Yard Early in the day 11am: 10 ft vis and 82 degree water great dive had a new diver with me that had a small freakout because of the visability... after we got on with the dive he sucked his...

Mr Thacker I suggest you re-read my post if you think i am blaming you or your company... just backing up some thoughts with hard data. I assume you are associated with scuba west since thats the only company i even mentioned in passing? Before getting defensive think of it this way... I...

I think the rule of thumb for a gator is that if it is close to your size or bigger stay away... Gators will tend to(read generally) keep its prey it's size or smaller. So are you bigger than an 11 foot gator that probably weighs 350-400 pounds? I think it is safe to say IF you have the...

Florida way? I think its the human way... For once I think everyone can feel your pain with the economic woes... your not the only bitter person. Best of luck riding the storm.

Thats a thought... not to be negative but i will play devils advocate. The reefs off the keys took many thousands and thousands of years to form but we have managed to overstress them in the past 20 years to the point of disgusting. Maybe a better analogy would be oil... millions of years to...

Lately i have been having this really.... i dunno "selfish" feeling about the Venice fossiling. I just looked at the scuba west charter schedule and noticed they are packed full for almost everyday for the next 2 weeks. It's kind of ironic that they are just depleting there only claim to fame...
