Boneyard dive with Aristakat ( same boat as Fossilebabe so I won't bother with temps). I think the first dive was closer to 2 foot vis. It was pretty bad but improved on the second dive, sometimes about 5 feet. I literally almost bumped into a gi-normis (big just doesn't fit here) loggerhead turtle. I think he was sleeping and he literally kicked sand in my face as he was taking off because I had my face 6 inches from the sand. Did I mention he was huge? I don't normally see big animals at Venice so after almost pooping myself I appreciated the experience.

Did Alhambra this morning. Very light west winds. Viz was 3 - 5 in some places & 5 - 7 in others.
Max depth - 16 ft. A little bit of drift algae but not too bad.

Boneyard w/ Aristakat & Capt Jamie
Winds lite from the SouthWest
Tide incoming and high
Water Temp 86 F @ 25 fsw
Viz: 1st dive 8-10 ft, 2nd dive 6 ft
2nd dive site was about 1/4 mile SE of the 1st
We were joined by Florida West' Hammerhead and two other dive boats in the general area.
Although there were no spectacular finds today, everyone found teeth including several large fragments and had a great time!
