I used to dive alot when younger for abalone very special critters..I would find fairly large abalone pearls at times... wish I hung on to them since their values are crazy now lol..One thing I've observed if you see alota river otters or a den in one area most likely their will tons of abalone shells...I've also seen them take out seagulls you'd think ducks would taste betterView attachment 33209View attachment 33210View attachment 33211
Same here. I spent a great deal of time in the water in my day (got my DM when I was 19, started Ab diving at 10 with my dad and his friends). I haven't been in like 15 years Too bad everything is closed down.
