he diving was very nice North of Sharkies Pier in Venice, Florida.* Air was 92°F, Seas were essentially calm with a light chop on otherwis the nearly flat water (a delightful 84°F), , Viz 10 feet.
In addition to the 178 teeth in my bag from 2 dives (no large Megladons) there was a plethora of marine life.* A small Cowfish continued to swim around my head and allowed touching.* They are beautiful fish.* We also saw Scorpionfish, Trevalle, an Octopus, lots of crabs, and some other nondescript small fish.* Most of the sharks teeth were found in the darker colored windrows at the edges of the sand areas using the sieve method.* Although some scoops near the small coral heads also produced teeth.* The drive back was "dampened" by a deluge of "white out" rain from below I-4 to exit 321 where we got off.* Water was standing 3 to 6 inches deep on the surface of I-75.* Transferring the equipment from one car to the other in the rain elliminated the need for a bath or shower when I got home.
