Meet at North side of Public Beach at 10:00 AM in Venice.

Anyone interested?

Stop for lunch - lets make this a meet and greet!
 
That's sounding like a definate possibility.
 
dive4fun - Steve here. I met Jeff and Walter at Venice once, albeit briefly.

If my youngest decides to stay Saturday at his uncle's, I might bring my (newly certified) daughter over. Lunch would be good too. It would be nice for her to meet some of the conchs :sunshine: Probably only about 30% chance of our showing up, but I will try. She will probably be on the boards here soon, she is quite the little computer whiz.

We would try to be over early if we can make it - does anyone know offhand what time FL West opens? I hate to haul 4 tanks in our dinky little car, but I will if I they aren't open early.

Also, when you say North side, do you mean by Alahambra, or elsewhere? I don't know where the boundaries for the beach are, but if you give me a street name or directions, I will find you.
 
Florida West opens at 9am.. Taildragger will be meeting me there at 9:30 for tank top-offs and then we'll be heading for the beach. thedaddy, just follow Venice Avenue west until it dead ends - the public beach parking area will be ahead and to your right. There are two parking areas, separated by a concession stand and the rest rooms. We usually park in the most northern lot (furthest to the right from where Venice Avenue dead ends). It's going to be a gamble on the conditions, the current predictions are for NW winds so we might have some waves.

OK It looks like a go for me!! :D
 
I just got my diving equipment after getting certified while in Wisconsin for college and I'd love to make this dive. I'm living in Tampa now, but I'm a Venice native...yeah an actual native :)
Hopefully I'll be able to get down there, what do you all usually go out to see when you're there? Is there still that plane that wrecked off shore?
 
I'm not going to be able to make it :(

Thedaddy, your daughter got her certification? Cool! Did you wife get hers as well?
