Freedive | Scallop Drift (Rye)

Freediving trip to the scallop grounds around Rye.

The goal on a drift dive at the Rye Scallop Beds is to enable enough ground to be covered to ensure you can fill your catch bag with great big fat juicy scallops. The scallop beds move around a little, and there is no guarantee you will see scallops straight away. But rest assured you will see them.

In Summer the scallops can generally be found in the areas nearby with depths ranging from 14 metres to 17 metres. The scallops like the cooler deeper water in summer.
