It is very physical work. That's why I only got a few of them because its way too hard trying to do 5 things at once. My dive partner was going through his air pretty quick trying to haul that heavy bag around.

God bless you!

It is so maritimer Canadian of him to wave bye to the creatures 😄 love it!!

Удивительный мир восточного побережья Канады. Красивые виды над водой и под водой. Гребешки, омары, крабы, свечи зажигания... Мастеркласс по приготовлению гребешков в конце, это действительно хорошо (horosho) =)

Very interesting video Mike! This Maritime girl does not like scallops lol, but glad others can enjoy them.

Love good scallop diving

How big are the ones you guys fish for in Bermuda? If I wasn't recording I could have gotten a lot more. Personally it is just as fun to film them as collect them.

Had I known we were allowed to forage for food this way I probably would've gotten my SCUBA training a long time ago lol

This was incredible to watch. I knew nothing about scallops and how they grew!Thanks

Just wait till that slough gets a little deeper at your farm and you can check it out! A place I would love to check out someday would be Fremont Lake near Pinedale. The vis is great and the water is crazy deep.

I love that I found a video of local diving. I'm in and around Campobello all the time in the summer. Don't meet alot of divers around here. Stay close to shore.....Back Bay has Great White visitors! ;)

I am always worried about the Great whites. There is a video of a seal getting attacked that was taken a few years ago by a whale watching tour and in the background is right where I was diving in this video. I hope to do some more videos in the bay soon. Thanks for watching!

I'm going to give Green's point a go this weekend. If you are in, give a shout out for a dive on Saturday.

Eating Crab and Shrimp right now for lunch. Raised on coast so had lots of seafoods. 😋

Tough place to find scallops as their primary predators are sea stars, lobsters, and eels, and there are plenty of those in that water.

Great Video! I go to Green's Point often and it was interesting to see what's in the water. I so want to learn scuba now! I want me some scallops and maybe meet the seals that hang out there too.

Seals are fun but you have to watch out for the sharks that hunt them. This location is a stones throw from where a whale watching tour captured a video of an attack a few years ago. Thanks for watching!

Always enjoyed diving deer island. The point is beautiful and lots of sea life to see...feeding the wolf fish is epic. Not sure if they still make them but they had dive rescue kits and I always had one in my tote. Has various items that would break on you like...mask strap, fin strap and extra O-Rings.. great to have I also threw in some extra orings and an adapter for my high pressure hose to inflate tires. Those small coves are great for scollop as most of the draggers can't get at them. your video brought back lots of memories.

Is it possible to freedive with fins and snorkel for scallops around 10ft?

I had no idea that there are sea urchins in the bay of Fundy. Is there a season for them or are you allowed to harvest them? So cool to sea big Sea stars I only ever find them about an inch across at parlee beach in shediac

I'm pretty sure you can only fish for them with a commercial license unfortunately. The sea stars are really cool looking and they come in many different colours too.

i used to fish there for flounder all the time, seems they have moved away from there, also used to dive for scallops as well, until i bumped into a 14 foot great white,, and was only about 50 feet from shore as well,,

That's a great story. Thanks for sharing! I think the flounders are long gone from that area but will probably return when the salmon farm is brought back. I have not seen a shark yet but I am sure eventually I will get my chance.

That's interesting. I would have thought they would be attracted to the area with the extra food and fish waste collecting on the bottom. I have not seen flounder at this site but maybe I was there at the wrong time or depth.

How much does it usually cost per trip looks like a fun hobby

@rivervidsyt

2 жыл бұрын

The the cost of getting certified and buying the Scuba gear is what is expensive. The air fills are only about $12 and the license was $10. If you factor in the cost of gas and depending on the distance you had to travel to get to the location I still think it's worth it. Nothing tastes better than scallops you collected yourself.

Great video! May I ask how much the license costs?

I'm not sure but I don't think you are allowed to spearfish anywhere in Canada. I don't know anyone who does it and the spearfishing guns might be a prohibited weapon here.

Great question! The reason is that the scallops found here are very mobile and move around a lot. They are actually more mobile than any other scallop on earth. This makes it difficult to tell if they have been in a fishing zone where red tide (poisonous algae bloom) may be present. The fact that they can't keep track of where they have been means that to be on the safe side in the 1970's they stopped letting people eat any part of the scallop except for the adductor muscle. This muscle doesn't become poisonous when the scallop has been in water with a red tide. Most other scallops found in places like England or Asia are tracked easier and they can close down a zone for harvesting if red tide is present. They often sell their scallops with the Row/Gonad attached.
