One of my other loves outside of diving is hunting. It gives me the opportunity to be outside harvesting my own food. It is a way for me to relax and get back to nature. Though at the end of every hunting season we hunters start to get an itch, we start pacing and waiting to the next season. Though I have a solution for you that will allow you to hunt year round!
During the summer months I fill my itch by diving and spearfishing. I get to travel to warm clients with excellent visibility and huge fish. Think about hovering a few feet from the ocean bottom almost like being in a tree stand watching a group of fish swimming by waiting for the shot at the monster in the group. The thrill of harvesting fresh fish doesn’t end there. You can also spend time on the bottom searching for and harvesting lobster, oysters, scallops, clams and mussels.
Do I have your attention yet? Are you saying that is all find and dandy but I am not a certified diver? Well don’t worry about not being a certified diver. All divers were not certified divers at some point. I can provide you scuba instruction by you calling Lancaster Scuba at 717-397-2822 and asking to take class with Michael LaSalvia. After your class we can work on additional training so you can be our next boat trip harvesting your own dinner in the water as you would in the forest.
Don’t worry for you certified divers that have never hunted before in the water we can work with you to provide instruction and guidance for your first spearfishing outing. Lancaster Scuba has a huge range of spear guns and monthly trips to North and South Carolina as well as New Jersey all areas great for under water hunting and harvesting.
The next underwater harvesting trip will be for oysters. The trip costs $70.00 per diver and the max depth is only 10 to 15 feet max. This is a great dive and good for newer divers who want to try their hands at harvesting / hunting fresh seafood. Call Lancaster Scuba to sign up for this trip. Remember if you like to fill your hunting itch and are not certified asked to take your open water certification with Michael LaSalvia.
