I do not take credit for this, and have learned this method from a charter captain in the area. However the best way to clean megs/sharks teeth/ and found fishing rods that have years/months of encrusted coral growth is to take Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with water, depending on the level of growth 25% - 75% mixture. Let the item soak for as long as needed with mild scrubbing/scrapping/wiping until desired effect.
This is a dive blog about the Venice Florida area. The blog discusses fossil diving, spear fishing, and free diving in our local area waters. We review these spots and share coordinates for everyone to enjoy.

Today dove a new spot off of Venice Beach. Approximately a mile or so directly West of the life guard stands in about 25 of water you will find a 4 or 5 foot relief on your depth finder. This appears to be a natural ledge with rocks. Beautiful reef with tons of fish, hogs and varied other species. Today the viz was not quite ideal 5' range with suspended particles and areas a lot less then that. However had a great time finding big sized Meg (Sharks teeth).

Sharks Teeth
Ramble Post:
Yesterday I had the privilege of diving Alhambra via beach. My boat has been broken this entire week and I actually had to get Tow Boat U.S. to come get me out of Lemon Bay a few days prior. I almost thumbed the dive, due to what I felt was too windy of conditions (winds from the SE 8knots) with what appeared to be strong top surge. However when I walked to the beach I saw crystal clear top to bottom viz. OHHH YEAH!!!! I went out to about 20 feet of water straight east of Alhambra and attempted to locate the bone yard ( a well known fossil bed ) I loved the dive, it was approx 8 feet of viz and very easy to find teeth, fish, structure. I had a fantastic time. My SAC rate has seemed to drop and I blame it on Insanity the work out program and my latest training with the Fire Department, I ended up spending about 1 hour at 20' with 2/3 of my tank leftover... HOW AMAZING :)
