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

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

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.

:depressed:I have the sad news to report that I will NOT be able to attend. I made a previous commitment to assist an old friend in moving to St. Louis, MO and will be there on June 2. I was hoping to catch a flight out Friday afternoon and drive down Saturday but all the connections get me back into Tampa late Friday night. I completely forgot until I was inviting some friends and family to tag along to the beach that day. I am disappointed but know that everyone will have a great time. I will be updating the thread so no need to worry about that.
I'M BAAAAACK.
I will be getting into St Louis early Friday afternoon June 1 and I was able to get a non-stop flight out getting me back in Tampa early evening.
I get to go diving. YEAH.:banana:
