Scallops, BANFF

So, its been a super busy since the last update. Scallop season started on December 1st, so we've been doing a lot of diving for scallops. So much so, that the local newspaper came out and did an article on us. You can see the article at http://www.underwatersuperhero.com/ under the news section.

Below are 2 pictures that didn't make the article.



Some facts about the 2 dives we did that day:

Dive 1
Air temp: 44 degrees F
Water temp: 36 degrees F
Maximum depth: 61 feet
Dive time: 17 Minutes
Scallops caught: 32

Dive 2
Air temp: 41 degrees F
Water temp: 34 degrees F
Maximum depth: 46Feet
Dive time: 21 Minutes
Scallops caught: 27


The season ends on April 15th... so many more weekends of diving to follow. With a recreational scallop license you can take up to 9lbs per day. My max for 1 day was 5 lbs.

This weekend is the big Banff Film Festival weekend in Bar Harbor. We have friends coming in from all over the east coast and Michigan. I can remember taking Fri and Monday off and getting here on Thursday night. Of course now that I live here, I work all day Friday and on Monday.... Damn that sucks!

Anyhow, I hope to have another update for you next week!
