During the months of July, August, and September join me in pristine Homosassa, FL for a scalloping adventure that you will be sure to remember. Scalloping is a snorkeling activity where quest will swim over shallow grass flats in search of the tasty scallop treats. Are day typically begins at 8 am at where we meet at the famous “MaCraes” waterside bar and grill in down town homososaa, FL where I will pick you up. From there we will take a short 20 minute boat ride down the old Homosassa river and out into the Gulf where the scallop grounds await. On are way out through “True” Old Florida you will see plenty of wildlife including manatees, dolphins, otters, ospreys, and many more! Once we reach the Scallop grounds we will begin snorkeling along the clear shallow grass flats in 3-8′ of water. Once are limit is reached or are time has come to an end we will make the run back up river to where the “Local” boys” will clean your scallops for a small fee. If you choose to do so you can clean you own as well. River and Spring tours are also available from an additional fee.
