Another Venice Beach Dive-Sun. 1-11

[dutchfin]

But if you own one, no sense letting it lay around getting dry-rotted...............

According to This site the water temp is a toasty 64 degrees. I hope you have drysuits!
(notice the icon is a frozen smilie)

See ya over there in May....

I wore a 7 mill FJ and a hood, I didn't wear gloves, a few weeks ago there when the H2O temp was around 57-62 and I was just fine. On the swim back I did take my hood off and it did feel like little daggers in my skull. So at 64 I just might sweat.

"Now that I live in Florida, how will I know when it's Spring?"

To answer your question...Spring is when the tourists leave and we can reclaim the beaches! (no offense to our visitors of course)

Well i wore my 5mm and 3mm hood, was toasty diving in 59F water.

Also, wildbill (seeing as you are working sunday), reefguy (pretty local) - are you up for saturday (tmoorrow - 1/10) am?

As for spring, its when the lambs come out (oh sorry that is where i grew up!) - its when the frost leaves!!

 

[ReefGuy]

Actually, Saturday works better for me, I've got babysitting for all day. I'll try to be there 8-8:30, and I'm bringing two tanks.

Great, so that might be a few of us, Reefbuy, Divingvenice, me and possibly Dutchfin (maybe). Really going to try to do two tanks and get some teeth this time!

Sorry we cant all be with you on sunday (GF wants to dive, but not freeze!) and timing is a little tougher to organise!

I got there at 8.30 this morning, waited a while and saw Walter around 9.30, we decided it wasnt going to be fun - you may still find teeth, but you wont see what you are looking for.


The surf was about 1-2ft over the sand bar, but that was made worse by the low tide. It looked like the bottom would have been well stirred up due to that wave action.


Good luck if you go, we went to Paradise Springs, fun, and going again tomorrow with my GF.
