Alhambra - Solo
Flat Seas
Outgoing tide
Depth to 22ft
Viz was 4-5ft heading out SW to the first line. After that it was less than 3 feet and very silty, especially over the reef areas.

This was my first time diving Venice. Thank you everyone who has posted guides and information (especially about the parking situation, very helpful). Found my first teeth on the first line of boulders / shells! Very exciting! No big teeth but still a lot bigger than ones I have previously found in the springs. Saw lots of tropical fish over the reef area. Surfaced for ten minutes and then descended and swam back using the drain pipes as a reference. Great dives, hope to return soon and find a meg tooth!

(PS If anyone wants to help a newbie ID my teeth and fossils please feel free!)

Thanks for the report. How was the temp? Top left and third row second from left are sand tigers. Easy due to long skinny shape that are often slightly curved. Good finds have a small barb on both sides near base. Be safe
