Venice/Service Club yak diving trip

[Sh@rkW@tcher]

Nizzy and I met up at the new park just north of Sharkey's, with the original intent of paddleing out to the boneyard, but a stiff NE breeze convinced us to stay a bit closer so we opted to dive offshore from Service Club(about 1/4 mile). Although there was a bit of swell the viz was about 15+ foot. We were in about 22 fsw, and fossil beds everywhere, with some holding nice teeth. I ended up with more than 100 small teeth, 4 Meg frags, 2 mako, a nice intact 1 3/4" hemipristis and a 1 1/2" tiger shark. There were several juvenile gag and red grouper in the area, including one little red that followed us for about 20 minutes. Nizzy did much better than I did!

I went out on Saturday. Lasted a whole 45 minutes before I froze my behind off. I guess I'm gonna have to break down & start wearing the hood. I hate wearing the hood. Viz should be good for this weekend, I hope.
