Venice Beach
Water temp: 86
Vis: Not great, but doable. <5' until 17' or 18’ and then it cleared up a little. Clocked 10' – 15’ vertical vis on the computer so about 5'-8' horizontal visibility.
Outgoing tide
Flat surf < 1’
Very few Isolated algae patches
Notes: Bottom looks pretty kicked up from the recent strong storms. Lots of clay recently exposed and lots of clean teeth. Looks like Irma might really kick things up if it ends up in close proximity. Possibly exposing new bottom or bottom that hasn't been exposed in years. (conversely, might cover some existing honey holes).

Hunting should be excellent next week.
I hope all you divers in Venice make it through the storm ok. We went through Ivan up my way and it sucks.
Be careful. You'll be in or thoughts.
Hopefully things go easy and we can come dive there soon.

Those of you wondering post Irma Venice is Diveable. Haul from today's dive North of the pier. Dove several areas 25 to 35 feet. The top 5 feet was tannic and river like, but it cleared up at depth with about 6’ or so visibility.

Shore dive this morning between South Brohard and Caspersen.
4-5 ft viz, lots of haze and snot in the water, 83F
Bottom has been stirred up quite a bit - lots of small finds.

Anywhere from 5 to 10 ft. viz at S. Brohard Sat. 84 degrees. A lot of large fossil chunks. Most were fragments that we couldn't identify. A few small tooth finds. 1 mammoth tooth. A few unidentified but good condition joints.
Thanks for the report

Dove Alhambra thurs morning viz not bad I'd say 5-6 ft in 20 feet of water . Small finds . Dove service club Friday morning since they blocked Alhambra off for some reason .. viz was terrible at maybe 1-2 feet and really no good beds to be found . Had much better luck with Ca Jamie on arstikat fri afternoon
