megateeth Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Between the holiday season and the extremely cold weather I have not been out too much. When I do go this time of year I only do one dive. But I have found a few nicer teeth. 12/12/09 The vis was pretty good but the water was cold. Most of these teeth were partly exposed. In the summer I usually dig a lot due to the low vis but in the colder water with thick gloves that is hard to do so I tend to dive more where I can find something that I can see. The tooth on the left is pretty much perfect, but the one on the right is really amazing. the blade has some cool twists to it. 12/15/09 Did pretty well. The vis was bad but I found two really nice small teeth. 12/17/09 and 12/18/09 This is it for two days of diving in coolllddd water. The vis was really bad because of a lot of rain. The worst thing about it is I found a decent tooth one of the days and put it in my bag. Because of the low vis, or the thick gloves, or the cold water, or just not paying attention it was not in my bag when I got to the boat. One nice tooth in two days and I leave it on the bottom. 12/22/09 I did pretty well today. The visibility was better and I found some nicer teeth. The lower Mako was pretty cool and the larger tooth is 5.5". The smaller one is around 4" and looks really nice. I will not know for sure until I clean the bourrelet cleaned off.

Auspex Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 12/12/09 ...the blade has some cool twists to it.
