Venice Beach Dive Sat Oct 29th??

[UB]

Anybody have any comments on what the vis will be for a Venice beach dive on Sat? Will there be any lasting effects from Wilma?

No telling. The wind has yet to completely settle down, so I wouldn't be hoping for a lot. I think there's every possibility that it'll be divable, though, if you don't mind low vis.

I dove Venice two days after Charlie last year and had great vis.

Thanks for the feedback - I hope you, our fellow divers and everyone else made it through Wilma safely.

a group from the villages scuba club are planning on diving venice on thurs.nov3 I know i it too soon for reports on viz. last time we went down I called the shop down there for info and they were NOT helpful, guess they want boat trips and are notthat interested in beach going traffic. soooo if anyone later on this week has info please post thanks.

seas were 3-5 off the beach today, generally speaking its like that all the way up to Venice 65 miles north of me, sooo.... it'd be churned up. The beach was quiet tonight though.

Are there lingering effects of red tide there? I've heard that we still have dead zones in the Gulf over here (Pinellas county).

According to FWC, K.Brevis was present at the Venice Peir.

Vis was less than 1 foot there today.
