Can we abalone dive and scuba dive the same day?
4-28-2011

Question:
We want to go abalone diving and scuba diving on the same day. I know we have to free dive for abalone, but we also want to scuba dive on the same trip. We live away from the coast but can only do a one-day trip, so which one should we do first? How can we do this without getting in trouble with a game warden who might think that we used the scuba for the abalone? (Matthew P.)
Answer:
If you're planning to be out on a boat, just make sure that you don't have any scuba gear present on the boat while diving for abalone. If you're entering and exiting from the shore, be sure to leave your scuba gear in your car or in your camp. You could probably do your dives in either order but just be sure that its obvious your dives were done separately and that scuba assistance was not part of your abalone dive. The law prohibits having scuba gear on a boat or floating device when diving for abalone or when abalone are onboard. The law does not prohibit driving home from your dive site with both abalone and scuba gear in the same car.
