Dive reports with beach/weather conditions

Did S.Brohard this am. Hit the water at about 9:15. Incoming tide, winds out of the SW. It wasn't too bad at the begining but the water got a little bumpy as the morning progressed. Viz was about 5 - 8ft & I'm sorry but I forgot the temp. It was my 1st dive of the season hoodless & I was very comfortable so I would say the temp is nearing 80. My big find of the day was a 2lb weight that my buddy had dropped about a month ago. I just looked down & there she was. Now if I could only find my anchor.

Jamie, do you have room for a diver on Sunday, May 1st?

I will be in town for the weekend and I honestly miss diving Venice... It's been way too long!
