I'd like to say that I was directly responsible for gathering this bountiful harvest of scallops, but I spent the day laying out on the pontoon of Bruce's boat taking in the sun while he dove to great depths at near peril to provide for himself, his wife and his visitors. Like it only takes about five minutes to catch a ride, it only takes about fifteen to catch a load of scallops. After a quick dive for these shellfish that are hidden under the sandy bottom of the sea floor we headed over to some rather craggy rocks where we picked up about a half kilo of Paua(similar to abilone and fetches about $200.00 a kilo).F
rom there we stopped off at his favorite mussel grounds where we procured about 50 green tipped mussels. There's something extremely satisfying in pulling in your own catch and cooking it up just minutes out of the water. Can you say possible carreer path?
