3 November. The beach conditions have been unfavorable for the past couple days. Boat dive was blowed out yesterday. Went out with Megladon Charters (used to be Florida West Scuba Boat) today. 5 to 10 ft vis, warm water. Finally found a 4.5 inch meg. Checked the beach for an afternoon dive and decided it wasnt going to happen.

Went out today at Venice public beach. In the water right at low tide. Hardly any waves. We had really bad viz 2-3' just past no swim marker cleared up and had pockets of 8' viz in deeper water. Found no teeth the bottom easily turned into a silt out. The winds blowing to the South West made for a nice swim out but ended up a little to far when we popped up and had a very unpleasent swim back in.

Went out again today at Venice Public beach was in the water about 10a.m was nice going out found quite a few teeth and a bunch of golf balls. Waves really picked up around 1 p.m and the water turned cold with the waves. I was weraing my 5MM boots and gloves and started getting cold in 20' of water.
Viz was about 5-6' and falling fast. This might have been the last good day for awhile till Ida blows past.
