Bottom Time: 83min

Temp at depth: 68deg

Comments: Great dive, the viz was good compared to what it has been over the past couple of months. I recovered 4 decent size megladon teeth and several small ones from a bed that I found earlier this year. In addition, I recovered an old bottle (still working on the I.D.) and several coins (mostly pennies) dated from 1911-1933.

Nice score! We need to see more reports like this.

I don't mean to sound rude, but why is this in the Southern California dive report section? I check out other sections to read about diving in other places, but it would make more sense to have this in the Florida page.
