Good diving today off Alhambra. 10' to 15' viz lots of small teeth. Lots of sea life. If anyone sees a dive flag heading west with about 20' of rope attached to it it probably would be mine! We tried swimming to get it but the faster we went it went faster west. Then we had a good size boat heading full speed for us so we went back down and back to shore!!! Good day though!

6/18/12 South Brohard (pics in link above) with dkramer
Winds: E 13 mph at 9 AM
Swells were supposed to be 0.0 ft every 4 seconds, but it seemed bumpier out there than that
FSW: 13-15
Viz: 10-12 ft
Water temp 82
Tide was incoming until high around 11:50 AM
D and I dove for about one hour and took a break on her yak, then dove again for 1/2 hour. Viz was great (for Venice) and there was lots of life around the blocks, as you can see in the pictures (also some snot floating around). We both had a great time. Too bad the 2 inch meg I found was not whole, drats!

Just out of curiosity today I dove down at 28 feet and saw silt until I hit the bottom. Once I was there id say it was 6 inches of viz. Needless to say I went straight back to the boat. Hopefully it cleans up by mid week.
