We’re going oyster diving.
If you love scuba diving and you love fresh oysters, this one’s a no-brainer. We’ll head out on the Chesapeake Bay for a small-group oyster harvest dive that’s equal parts cold water, good work, and excellent payoff.
This is an organized, instructor-led dive for experienced divers. I handle the access, logistics, limits, and safety side of things so you can focus on diving and filling your bag.
Date: October 2026
Location: Off Kent Island, Maryland
Group size: Small. No cattle boats.
Show time: 7:00 am
Boat leaves: 7:30 am sharp
Two-tank dive
Depth: 15 to 20 feet
Water: Brackish. Weight yourself like salt water.
Temps: Typically 60s to low 70s in October, depending on conditions.
Exposure protection: 7mm wetsuit minimum, hood and gloves strongly recommended
You’ll be harvesting up to the legal limit of oysters. Expect real work. A bag of oysters weighs about the same as a bag of rocks, so proper lift is required. Do not plan on using your BCD as a flotation device for shellfish.
Bring a goodie bag, a lift bag, and a cooler for the ride home. You’ll want it.
If you have questions about the dive, gear, or logistics, reach out before booking.
