LIFE IN SCOTLAND | SCALLOP DIVING WITH GUY GRIEVE | TRAVEL VLOG

Aaaand we're back!
Check out this epic adventure. I teamed up with Visit Scotland, and Wild about Argyll to live a day in the life of a Scot.
After a plane ride to Glasgow, a camper van to Argyll, a boat to the Isle of Mull, and a long drive to a little white house on a Loch, I met Guy Grieve.
This man is amazing. He spent a year solo in the Alaskan Wilderness, another year sailing around the world, and now dives to the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean several times a day, hand gathering scallops for his baby, the Ethical Shellfish Company.
My assignment was to join him on a typical day out at sea, SCUBA diving in very cold water, with very strong currents. We would be
I was tested to the MAX, and left with a serious appreciation and attraction for this style of fishing. Our hands were the fishing equipment, and we did no damage to the ocean because of this. This is such a better way of doing things than the mass harvest of shellfish.
Join us as we jump in the cold north Atlantic in search for treasure!

    So cool Mike. It's fascinating to see how these scallops are picked by hand. Wonderful to see them alive in their own environment. And like Guy says. Keep thinking of how the sea keeps humans alive since the beginning of time. So respect the sea for what it is. On another note, really good to see you've picked up the pieces of your life and kept doing what you love to do best. God Bless Mike.

    Yes, what Guy is doing is so great. Some parts didn't quite make it in the edit, but he had a good talk about the adventure behind every scallop. People like stories, and catching them this was definitely has a great one. Also he says "Pick the roses, without trampling the garden" is great wisdom. Other fishing methods just scrape the hell out of the bottom of the ocean. Imagine doing that on land? It would be banned immediately. In the ocean, we just don't see it, but it still happens everyday.

    Dear Mike and Guy, I was very moved by this video. The raw beauty of the north Atlantic never fails to amaze me after moving from the west coast to the east coast of Canada. Scotland's sea has even more raw beauty, it seems. And nothing beats the scallops here, I thought, until I watched this video. Being from the west coast, I never knew Atlantic scallops were so big, beautiful and delightful to eat. Succulent barely describes the experience. However, I now have a growing suspicion that the scallops in Scotland may be x2 the experience! You have a new subscriber in me. Cheers with a shot of whiskey from Nova Scotia aka New Scotland. xo

    I'm remembering my drive through Ireland and having such a similar experience. The roads were much narrower there than this though. The people in both countries were absolutely so friendly though. Never worried about the sheep or dogs in the road, they got out of the way quickly. The locals, on the other hand, take their time with catching up. Time moves at its own pace here.
