Well...A happy Fathers day to all.
Went diving at the beach park early this morning. Got in the water just before 7. Vis was in the 5 to 6 ft. range, but deteriorated to about 2 to 4 or so by the time I left. Water temp is 85 deg. Seas were flat with a barely perceptable ripple. No surge at all. All in all a pretty good dive with a bottom time of 160 min. (on a hp 119) I think I'll stick to 80's or 100's for this dive from now on. Got a total of 63 teeth, mostly small, but a few nice ones, no megs, tho.
I have a question for the people who regularly do the sharks tooth dive. Do you use some sort of strainer or screening apparatus to sift for teeth? I just pick up the ones that are evident, maybe fanning the sand a little, but no sifting. Everyone seems to pull out a lot more teeth(pun intended) on a routine dive than I do and I was wondering if that's how it's usually done...or is my eyesight just getting that bad?
