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.

This is a great Sunday morning dive. Last year my Girlfriend and I came 3 times and never went home with less than 30 teeth each. The first time we dove this site (which was last year) I found a Megladon Tooth. That first dive also was the only time I experienced 15 ft viz which many say never happens but I will testify it has. I have been there once this year and you can usually expect viz to be 5 to 3 feet. Just as everyone says, the teeth are found as soon as you hit 18ft. The best part of coming here to dive is that if conditions are unfavorable, which they are at times, you can always walk the beach and find teeth. If you have a good eye there are plenty!
