for those who are living down in venice what do you know about the condition for a beach dive this weekend, the weather stations say sw winds would someone give me some advice on what we should find when we get to the beach ????? the group I dive with has been down there 2 times and have been blown off the beach after a 2 hour drive so help me please should I wave this off or what ???????????? thanks for any imput
 
I just got off the phone with someone who dove the service club in Venice this morning & he said the viz is good right now. I'm sure he'll post later. I would think saturday would be good. I'm supposed to go out Sunday am & things might be iffy by then. I'm hoping the front will hold off until later in the day.
 
Right now, the front is scheduled (ha! scheduled..) to pass through on Sunday. Looks like it might just be a go... Isn't Shark tooth fest the weekend of the 19th?
