Boneyard dive report 25 Sept 09


I worked today as a divemaster with Aristakat Charters. We had 5 divers with us:Paul, Kevin, Kelly, Katie and Maria. There was a light south east wind and clear skies. The seas were running 1-2 feet. We departed the Venice Public Ramp at 10:00am and headed offshore while Captain Jamie Bostwick gave the boat and safety briefing. The anchor was set at 10:25 and all divers were in the water by 10:30 and starting their 90 minute dive. Around noon divers starting returning to the boat with most reporting sea nettle jelly stings. After a short surface interval and location change the divers were back in the water for their second dive, returning around 2:00pm. Although vizibility was less than ideal(about 3 feet), everyone found fossil shark teeth with several megladon teeth in the 2"-3" range and a couple of nice Mako teeth found. We returned to the dock at 2:25pm, a very nice ending to a great day of diving!
