Venice Report June 21, 08

[Steve Thacker]

One mile out the wind is from the west at 10 knots, and the waves are about 1 foot. The vis on the surface is really clear and on the bottom it is between 10-15 feet. Water temp is 85 out here. There are some storms on the radar to the west but as of 9:45 it is clear, partly cloudy.

Service Club Park was tested clean even though it is close to the Pier so we have check-out dives going on there today instead of Venice Beach which is still posted for bacteria. The tides are coming in for the next several hours so clean water should replace and flush out the gunk.

We got about 50 whole megs yesterday on the boat so hopefully we will do as well today.

Happy Divin'!

Rock on buddy! Thanks for the report

I'd still be shy of being so close to where the bacteria is testing but thats an encouraging sign that it's cleaning out. Thanks for the "on the water" reports!
