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.

I've been diving Venice since 2001, both swimming from shore and from a kayak. Vis is usually 5-15' and if you are real lucky 20-25. Best to dive with east winds, both the day you dive and the day before. Teeth start in 16-18 foot. The farther from shore, the better the vis and better chances of bigger teeth. I prefer to dive south of the public beach and north of the pier. http://www.flickr.com/photos/28517750@N05/2663371107/ Pic is teeth from a dive on 7-10-08. Usually if you are finding lots of small teeth, there will be few big teeth and vise-versa.
