 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went on a dive with Top2Bottom last weekend and it was great. I personally enjoy the smaller/fewer people charters like this. It is much easier to talk to and get information from the staff during the day on what you find and tips on what to do. Everyone was kind and made you feel comfortable.
You may not find exactly what you are looking for but that’s why it’s fossil “hunting” and not fossil “finding”! I had an awesome time and will be doing this more as I am able.
Definitely recommend 👌🏻

They assist you with loading the boat, assembly of your gear, and getting you in and out of your dive equipment.  As described in their web page a briefing for new divers on fossils to look for and how to find them.  Each dive was 90 minutes which was great to hunt.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The crew was awesome. Nice, long dives, too.
Don't expect amazing viz, because this isn't that kind of dive, and the folks on the boat made sure you were well aware of it. They were great with helping out with the gear between dives, to quickly get everything swapped over and get you back into the water. With this being shallower water, a 90 minute dive was easily accomplished each time, which is always nice to be able to do. I never get to have long, relaxing dives anymore. On the 3rd dive, I completely forgot that I was supposed to be looking for meg teeth and fossils and got distracted getting clips of the various sealife. lol
When I'm ready to make the haul back down there, I'll definitely be booking here again.

Sharks Tooth Diving

Venice, Fl – the sharks tooth capital of the World!

Venice is rich in ancient, underwater fossil beds dating back millions of years. Venice was once a giant corral reef with a plethora of breading fish whales turtles dolphins all types of marine species. The giant reefs brought in all types of fish species including whales which came to these local waters to breed and have offspring. All the marine species which called Venice home, brought in the megalodon sharks and different shark species to feed on all the life. When the whales came in to breed, Megalodons and other sharks species followed to feed. When a shark feeds they loose a few teeth every time they feed so over millions of years of sharks feeding in this area they were loosing teeth every time and over time these teeth fossilized and built up in our local waters which is why Venice FL is the sharks tooth capital of the world.

In addition to sharks teeth, we find whale teeth, whale vertebrates, dolphin teeth, turtle fossils, and a variety of different marine fossils. We also find all sorts of land mammals as well including horse teeth, giant ground sloth fossils, saber-tooth cat fossils, woolly mammoth teeth, and fossilized mastodon teeth, alligator bones, and other unique fossils. The reason we find land mammals underwater is because Florida was also submerged underwater and the land extended out much much father then it does now. As the seafloor was once land, it is common to find more than sharks teeth on our dives. You never know what you may find. It’s a tressure hunt an exciting dive and fun for the whole family.
