Scalloping

Steve and I have been trying to get out on the water for some scalloping for years now. We finally snagged an opportunity this summer and got our friends Frank and Chris to come with us.



Scallop in the shell.. soon to be scallop in my belly!

Scalloping is like going on an Easter egg hunt at the bottom of the ocean. You dive down in about 10 feet of water and look for the scallop shells at the bottom of the ocean. Sometimes they're hiding in the grass, sometimes they try to swim away from you.

This is was my sad attempt to use the hookah, equalize, and manage my pregnant buoyancy while scalloping. Didn't work out too well the first day. But I finally got the hang of it on day two.

Scallops in the boat! They reminded me of little chattering teeth while they were still alive, trying to escape.

Handsome boat captain and scallop harvester!
