OK, it was a boat dive and I was wearing my drysuit.
The farther out you go the better your chances are for a big one. Sunday we were in 29'.
For shore dives I have had my best luck from Service Club Park.
I will drop down right at the shore and head west or NW. I have found teeth on both sides of the sandbar.
I don't dig, just head west. I like to stay about 2' off the bottom (if vis will allow) and just scan left and right and pull out any thing that looks like it might be a tooth and I pull alot of junk. If I find one I will seach that area, I have found several within a couple yards of each other.
But, I really think it's about 90% luck, just swimming over the right place at the right time, and the 10% is good eye sight.
I dive with hp 100's so I get out further usually turn back at 1500 psi and am not as picky on the way back in.
I usually try for Sunday mornings and some Sat. even after work if the weathers been good.
OH, the wife gets her share of time too. non diver
 
wow i would love to try that i like to find any thing old, the thrill of the hunt. i love to metaldetect but thats just been on land.
 
It's a pretty cool dive. As soon as the water warms up a bit I'll go
 
I've been looking hard at the boneyard for some time. The means to it will be available soon (friend with a boat), and I hope to take it there and look. I go to Alhambra, and have had some good luck there.

There's just nothing like coming across a big tooth. For me, buried treasure wouldn't be any better.

Looking hard at it - of course straining your eyes from the shore :wink: When Brian gets his boat out there i think we will all have fun!! Like is said a couple of weeks and i am in.
 
Nice 2th. You said you dove 100s the (s) makes me think you're diving doubles? Maybe I'll drag mine out. I have been thinking about buying a drysuit for cave diving. I had one a long time ago but it didn't fit right and I sold it.

I may go down to service club park tomorrow, but I noticed the wind just shifted to SW today.
 
Kev7:
I'm not the expert on finding the shark teeth but I have dived off of Venice beach twice. I can dive on Fridays but the 7th I already have plans. If you want to try for the next Friday after that let me know.

Thanks for the reply - I may have a house closing on that Fri. I may actually go tomorrow but it will be a last minute decision.
 
CaveDiverJeff:
Too much talk about diving - loading the car and heading for Venice beach - will update conditions tonight.

Well how was it????
 
$24.95 for dive flag/float
$10.00 Gas
$30.00 Lost Lime green weight belt

Finding my first four shark's teeth...

worth it I suppose.

It was fun vis about 3 feet - no surf. I do have to admit that I am hooked on tooth diving even after the bumpy start.
