Come check out what it’s like to dive and hunt on the wind farms off Block Island. These structures aren't more than 13 years old and already they are covered in growth, attracting sea stars and mollusk eating fish like cunner and tautog, the plankton, krill and small shrimps congregate, bringing in the small baitfish which then attracts the bigger predatory and pelagic fish that pass by seasonally. Big fish, deep, cold water and murky green visibility reminds you that you sometimes have to push the limits, and sometimes you just want to.

Out diving last weekend on the boat and we ended up finding some scattered and lost scallops that drifted away from their bed most likely in a winter storm. Scallops are great raw right out of the shell so grabbing a few when the opportunity presents itself is always a treat and worth the grab for a perfect snack from the salt. The scallops will pop a pucker, open up and look at you with the hundreds of eyes lining the edge of the shell and every so often you’ll find a little fish inside.

Some diving in San Diego during spring.
