Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Venice Beach
This site is known to yield fossilized sharks' teeth. Poor visibility, esp when the water's a little choppy. I have found upwards of 60 teeth in a one-hour dive. (Pics of them on my page.) Teeth ranged from serrated (white sharks) to lanceolate (sand sharks). Many different sizes. This site has been reported to yield teeth in excess of 4" diameter !!! Local dive guides available, but you won't need them. Stay at exactly 19'-21', and you'll find plenty. BEWARE of boats: use a dive buoy.
Public parking at the municipal lot. Hump your gear to the water's edge. Go straight out +/- 100 yards from the lifeguard tower.

My wife and I visited this beach hoping to find fossilized shark teeth. We swam out about 100 yards and went down to about 15 feet. We couldn't see anything. The waves were pretty large so the conditions weren't the best. It was also low tide. We did meet other divers who were more determined. We decided to cancel the dive. We may try again in the future.
