Sounds like a nice tooth and great viz. I hope the viz holds for tomorrow.
Another Venice Dive?!

Couldn't believe the vis. Best I've seen et. Found 229 teeth. None extrordinary. I've gotten a book on fossils, and the kids and I are working on identifying them.
Nice to meet you and the wife, Knavey, and glad you had better results.
I spoke to a local diver briefly, and he told me about another bed about twice the distance out from where we were (if you remember, where several boats were moored) that people tended to find "big stuff" at. Just a little too far to dive from the beach.

Knavey, sounds like a good dive. Its nice having a wife that likes to dive too.
Reefguy, that's outstanding vis! That second bed, did he mention a depth and how far out from the beach? Ive often seen boats not far offshore flying dive flags and Ive always wondered if there were better fossil beds that were further offshore.
Thanks everyone for posting.

No, he didn't give a depth. The boats he pointed to, though, were pretty far out (I'm thinking now, twice our distance out was waay too conservitave). I wouldn't even make the attempt to swim that far, and consider myself an excellent swimmer. His attitude was it was out of reach without a boat.

ReefGuy, thanks for the clarification. No doubt that's not a beach dive.
I sometimes think about bringing a boat down and diving from the boat. On a few occasions Ive seen a number of boats flying dive flags not far out and I suspect that they were diving something like a riverbed or ledge. That would interesting to dive another spot that may have different bottom characteristics.
