One more question does any one know where the video is that shows people what to look for and how to do it? I would like my friend to see the video before we get there.
 
Crud. Crud. Crud. Hermit Crab has something going on that takes precedence over the beach bash. Drat. Drat. Drat. I *could* run out and back, but that wouldn't be much fun, so we are bowing out. So bummed, was really looking forward to seeing everybody again. I even had a dream last night I found a really nice BIG meg!

I will miss seeing you ScubaJenny, but totally understand! Hope Hermit Crab's stuff goes well!
 
Sorry it took longer than expected to get back with you about what we will bring. Had a catastrophe with the 4 year old and a treadmill the latter part of last week and have been dealing with that.

We will bring a 10x10 tent/gazeebo and a table or two, depending what we can fit. Will also bring some sandwiches (thinking Publix club sandwich ring or the like).

Look forward to meeting you all.
 
Greetings to all,

Please put Krista and I on the Big Flat Top for 10:15 am

CoolTech (Jim)

We look forward to seeing all our old dive buddies and some young dive buddies as well

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

Capt Rick of Man Overboard Charters,Jamie of Aristakat ,Capt Jeff of 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.​


 
I've finally figured out my food item! I'll be bringing chocolate chip cookies! See you Saturday.
