ATTENTION:  This Gulf adventure is recommended for STRONG SWIMMERS, the condition in the ocean can vary greatly and change quickly. The Gulf can get choppy and you may be scalloping in water anywhere from 4 feet to 10 feet in depth. Bring small children at your own risk. Small children can be accommodated, but you are ultimately responsible for your child while out scalloping. Infants (under the age of 3) will not be allowed on a group or semi-private tour. To bring a baby, one must upgrade to a private scallop adventure. 

Scallop tours are done in the Gulf of Mexico where conditions are variable.  The best scalloping conditions are on sunny days at low tides. The best chances at avoiding afternoon storms will be on the early morning departures. Rainfall, winds, tides, moon cycles and sunlight all have significant effects on visibility and rough waters can be very difficult for some to endure.  Keep in mind while booking your scallop tour that we can not control mother nature.  Please plan accordingly.
