Venice Beach, FL Dive Plan Report
Service Park Beach is the best site for parking and access to Venice Beach. The easiest site for your first time is either the pier or public beach which is free to park and has a large boardwalk out to the beach. It is a long walk so drink lots of water and eat a bannana before you go for extra energy. Most like to bring two dive tanks.
Venice Beach is a unique diving experience, and even though is is shallow, there are some important points to note when diving here. Make sure each buddy pair/team has a dive flag as fishermen and boaters frequent this area often. Attach any dangly equipment such as octopus and pressure gauges to yourself to avoid dragging the bottom, and becoming entangled underwater. Divers should each carry a dive knife in case of entanglement with fishing lines and nets.
Dive Flag or bouy per buddy team is mandatory and logical for safety. Boats come very close to shore and go very fast. Be very careful on asscents and come up close to the shore if possible.
Also bring:
- Trowel to pick through the rubble.
- Dive knife per diver
- Mesh bag or two for holding your goodies!
You can shore dive it fairly easily but if you would rather use a boat:
