ok did my first shore dive for shark teeth at the alhambra site.
visibility ranged from 15 feet to 6 inches at times...yikes.
we started out westward from the culverts and didn't stop until we were in 18-20 feet ....very muddy...the silt was about 3 inches thick..
we didn't surface at 1500psi, but based on when we did come up with 500psi, I'd say we were 1/4 to 1/2 mile away...rather than 100 yards.
on the way back in ...in the last five minutes of the dive we started finding teeth, a bit bigger than what I've found on shore...they were every where. This is where we came back up.
My best guess of distance is about 100 yards, or a few yards west of the sandbar you get to after entering the water.
Next time we'll start there and plant ourselves.
max depth for the dive was 21' and time down was 94 minutes.
Is there a better site that might bare (spelling?) megladon teeth?
Has anyone found a megladon tooth at the alhambra site?
it was gorgeous day either way.. I didn't think that coral grew on the west coast...saw some scattered soft coral....some stone crabs and some other crabs that liked my finger.
we initially used colendars (spelling?) , but once we started finding teeth, we didn't use them anymore...they just appeared to us.
Can we expect that same kind of thing with the big teeth, or do they need to be dug up?
Thanks for the help.
