THE ULTIMATE UNDERWATER TREASURE HUNT
What do you get when you mix in our beautiful Florida Sunshine, clear Gulf of Mexico waters, your closest family and friends, and a day on the boat freshly harvesting our sweet and succulent bay scallops? FUN for all ages!
This local tradition will have you donning your snorkel gear and jumping in to enjoy what has been likened to a “salt water scavenger hunt” or “underwater Easter egg hunt”. These tasty mollusks seat themselves in the grass beds in and around Crystal River and Homosassa. You simply snorkel around searching for your savory treasures… pick them up and place them in your mesh scallop bag! It’s that easy. You will also enjoy viewing a wide variety of fish, sea stars, sponges and coral on your scalloping excursion.
