I did S. Brohard & my report is pretty much the same. Viz 4 - 8ft. The only difference was my computer gave me a water temp of 78.

Vis was really pretty good, had not been diving in Venice for a while and was surprised to see areas completely silted/mudded over. Came out with about 100 small teeth between two divers for two dives, which is much less than our typical Service Club haul. Found a 1.5" chocolate meg in pretty nice shape, not sure if I was in the wrong spot but found small pockets of teeth with huge areas of nothing, went about 1mile out on the second dive thinking I was not far enough, did not improve things to much.
Vis was really nice, beautiful weather, no sign of red tide other than a few dead fish on the beach that looked as if they had been there for a week+
Dive safe, have fun.

So I did two tanks today. First one at 11:30. Even though it was low tide the vis was pretty good. Probably five to ten feet there for most of that dive. Jumped back in at 3:00 for another super quick dive. Visibility was much worse when the wind had kicked up. Was probably three to four usable feet of vis. I was not having any success bribing the sheep head to show me teeth by turning rocks over. So I was scanning around when I looked over my right shoulder to see a giant sea turtle's head about four feet away from me. Turns out he was about 5-6 feet long with a head bigger than mine. Scared me half to death when i first saw him. He let me say hi and swam some circles around me for 5 minutes. Even though my best tooth of the day was only a cracked in half 2 incher , i did manage to find another whale earbone, and the sea turtle meeting more than made up for the lack of good megs. Did find 50-60 smaller teeth and some smaller meg frags but nothing worthy of a pic.

S.Brohard I went a little later today. Hit the water about 11:00. East winds, viz was anywhere from 4 - 8ft. Twas a bit of a surge & my computer put the water temp at 77. Saw the small gator that hangs in the creek, under the boardwalk. He is gettin' BIGGER. Hope he stays in the creek cuz I would have a stroke if I met him out on the reef!
