Переглядів 7 тис.2 роки тому
Have you ever wondered how divers find amazing shark teeth and fossils underwater? Do they dig or are they on the surface? This video will give you an idea of what scuba diving for fossils is like under near ideal conditions! The visibility is rarely this good in the Gulf of Mexico around the Venice, Florida area. Known as the "shark tooth capital of the world", Venice is known for producing al...

Scuba diving in shallow reef off Marathon Key in the Florida keys in March 2021. Sombrero reef lighthouse offers a protected area and mooring balls for easy access. Friendly boaters will allow you to tie to their boats when mooring balls are full. Amazingly clear water and great for scuba diving or snorkeling there!

One of the bucket list dives I want to do.
SalyDivers my favorite charter for diving or snorkeling with sharks.
awesome! i'm doing this tomorrow, looks like fun. Did you get the fossil checked out?
Not really I’ve looked up some and compared but haven’t really brought them anywhere. Just keeping them for myself for now :)! Good luck!
This is Riviera Beach not west palm
Hello, I'm planning on vacationing in Florida in August 2024 and diving for megaladon teeth, can you give me some tips? Thank you very much and best regards from Germany
I would try and book a dive with one of the local charter boats in the Venice, Fl area! There’s a few to pick from, I like aristokat! Very reasonable and nice smaller dive boats with catamaran hulls and twin Honda outboard engines! The boat captains are super knowledgeable and helpful
There’s a book available on Amazon also written by Robert Fuqua. It’s about fossil diving in the Venice area. Very short read but good value and has pictures of shark teeth
Awsome viedo
Seeing this months after the original upload of the video, but do you dive with other people? I just feel that it would be safer with others, even if just fossil hunting. But this comes from an amateur fossil hunter.
Where do you park and go in for a shore dive?
There’s a parking lot near the Venice pier which is good. North or south of the pier a little ways is good either one. The gravelly areas shift around with the waves so always hunting
Where do you park and walk in?
The giant grouper are out at 3 Mile and 7 Mile reef.
My dive buddy Leo and I dove it twice yesterday but did not have visibility that good.
Man, nice dive! I can't wait to get certified and make my way out there!!! Practicing skills as soon as the pool at my local dive shop is warm enough, lol.
Awesome !!! Good luck and happy diving!
I have been looking for places to dive around here and this looks like a good option. thanks
Do you think i would see anything from the surface if i went snorkeling in the area?
Unfortunately it’s a little too deep there for good easy snorkeling. There are some better spots to snorkel in this area!!
@@skybeard3713 good to know. I'm going in April. I know about point of rocks on siesta key, but what are some other snorkeling spots?
@@steffie3678 the lifeguards go home at 4:30 at Cortez beach at the three piers. On a calm day there are many fish to see under them!!! Also the rocks near the city pier at bay front park on the north end of Anna Maria is good, just be careful of the boat channel! Stay on the outside of that! There’s also bird key park in Sarasota that is good spot!! Rainbow river and weeki wachee river are amazing also but a short road trip!
@@skybeard3713 thanks!
Great Video Sky B..!!!
How long was the swim out to the dive spot?
It’s about 200 yards from shore in about 16-21 ft deep.
How was this company to dive with? I’m from the area and want to find not only a good charter but one that helps you get on the lobsters.
Pura Vida is a great dive shop and charter boat!!! Put me right on the lobsters!
@@skybeard3713 I used them and really liked them as well!
This company is ok with lobster diving on their charters? I know some in the area won’t let you. Did they specifically bring you places to find them or just pick a spot and they might possibly be there. Thanks!
seems like it may depend on the dive operator; I've been out of Palm Beach with Starfish Dives a few times, they don't care if you want to go for lobster but they generally have other divers onboard as well, won't go to specific spots for you, just whatever you come up with on the drift
This was a specific dive for mini season the two day sport season prior to the regular season. Pretty much everyone on the boat was lobstering or assisting their dive buddy!
Hello. It is a great video. Just wondering if you have the exactly location where you were. Also what type of equipment did you use for diving? Thanks a lot
I don’t have the exact coordinates. It’s off of 33rd st in Holmes beach about 200 ft off the beach. I have a regular open water scuba set up.
@@skybeard3713 At the 33rd St Parking. When you walk out on the beach, you will see a "No Wake" Bouy at around 270 degrees. You can see it in the video. If you start at the bouy and swim 230 for about 200 meters you should swim right into it. As soon as you see the plant life, you basically there.
I sooooo wanna do this. Havent had the chance to dive in like 2 years.
I have heard the bull sharks are bad there. Is that something that is an issue?
I’ve never seen a shark while diving there! Maybe if your spearfishing and creating a lot of fish blood in water but just fossil hunting is ok!!!
That mammoth tooth was just laying on the top of the sand? Are you kidding?!? So cool! 😎
Yep!! Sitting right on top on the way back I was pretty much done searching and was swimming back to shore!!
On our bucket list
You guys new divers?
Yes, relatively new. I have been diving for about three years now and have around 200 dives in various locations and countries. I'm currently in my dive master training class now. Sarah had less experience fewer than 50 dives.
That's scary even at 50 dives, please have her work on trim, and basics. Clean up everything dangling from her as she looks like a swimming snag hazard. For your safety and hers. Thank you for the video.
Any problems bringing drone into Mexico
Nope! I made sure I packed the batteries in my carryon and it was fine!
Nice
Thanks!
cool
thank you!
Beautiful video of just two people enjoying each other’s company and diving. Sure miss diving… 😏
Nice video Sky
Awesome video! We live near there and would love to see you guys out on the water! Which kayak fo you have? I am getting ready to upgrade and get a tandem so my son and I can go together on longer bigger trips.
I have a perception rambler 13.5 tandem. Its very similar to the Ocean Kayak tandem and slightly cheaper but still good quality!
Looks like a great time. Which company did you use?
I'm sorry Im not sure
You got some great footage! Beautiful underwater life! I always love seeing a parrot fish. 🤩
Thanks!
Great video Sky. Definitely had a great time.
Yes it was!
Cool video sky!
Thanks!
