Lately i have been having this really.... i dunno "selfish" feeling about the Venice fossiling. I just looked at the scuba west charter schedule and noticed they are packed full for almost everyday for the next 2 weeks. It's kind of ironic that they are just depleting there only claim to fame.
12-20 plus people a day! (along w/anyone else who beach dives or has their own boat) There is no missing the fossil areas from all the dive boats! Soon venice is going to be like the peace river and only the very remote or hard to find spots will produce any decent hunting.
Yes i know i dont have any more or less of a right to be there than anyone else. it just seems like the fossil beds will be over hunted in the not so distant future if things keep going and growing at this rate or maybe there is more gold in them there hills than i realize. I'm betting that 15 years from now i will be telling my kids about the good old days.
what is all the other venice divers take on this?
