Scubaboard Venice Beach Bash - June 2, 2012

It is that time again where we all get together at Venice Beach for some camaraderie, scuba diving and the ever present Megalodon Teeth.

Jamie of Aristakat and the Big Flat Top have again volunteered to transport us back and forth to the boneyard for a one tank/one hour dive. This is their way way of saying Thank You to all the wonderful SB'rs who have used and recommended their services throughout the year.

There will be a tip jar for each boat for you to show our appreciation for volunteering their time and their expertise. Please be generou$ as they are being generou$ for us.

There will be a maximum of 6 divers per boat. Times are noted below for each boat. Please be suited up and ready to go before your scheduled time. We have a gap between the launches for safety so there is only one boat on the beach at any given time.

Directions to the beach:

From the north:
Head to Venice on I-75. Get off at exit 193 and turn right onto Jacaranda Blvd. Turn right on Venice Ave (CVS at the corner). Stay on Venice Ave until after you've crossed the bridge to the downtown area. Turn left at the second light after the bridge - Harbor Drive S. Turn right at the 5th street down - Alhambra Road. Follow to the end of the road.

From the south:
Head to Venice on I-75. Get off at exit 193 and turn left onto Jacaranda Blvd. Turn right on Venice Ave (CVS at the corner). Stay on Venice Ave until after you've crossed the bridge to the downtown area. Turn left at the second light after the bridge - Harbor Drive S. Turn right at the 5th street down - Alhambra Road. Follow to the end of the road.

If you wish to use your GPS, the address for the condo at the of Alhambra Road is 633 Alhambra Road, Venice, FL 34285.

Park on the street as close to the dead end as possible and without blocking access to the beach from the road. Most of us will be carrying all of our gear to the beach and will need easy access without having to walk around vehicles. Be careful not

to block the driveway to the condo or to the homes along the street. Also when parking, park along the street in the direction of travel for the side you park. Failure to do so may and could result in a ticket.

Should you need any other information, please do not hesitate to ask.

Also, we'll bring cooler with drinks, cabana and sandwiches.
 
A bit tentative as it's a ways out right now, but sign me up for the 10:15 big flat top
 
Shelli & I will be there, + 1 diver aka Rick.
Can you put me +1 onto Jamie's first AM trip out.

Will bring chicken, chips, and a cooler with water.
And a wheelbarrow if there is room.
 
Whoo hoo!!! I'll take that last spot with Jamie on the 8 AM...
HEY SOB!!! Wannna buddy again? :D :D :D :D
 
can you put C and I on with UCFKnightDiver? It's looking very good and we hear he's a good mentor for shark tooth diving :)

Looks like the thread is stickied, hope we get a big turn out, and great weather!
 
Is there a rule against alcohol in Venice?
 
yeah.. none on the beach..
