- I recently got into ocean snorkeling and I've been blown away by the amount of life under the waves. If you know where to dive for scallops in Nova Scotia and want some company, email me at info@northernscavenger.com :)

Thanks for watching! I'm new to the snorkel game but really enjoying it. Let me know if you guys like these types of videos and know of other cool spots to hit up in Nova Scotia.
Hey dude, for scallops you wanna look for a gravel bottom not sand, and it should have a decent current so somewhere between islands or in gravelly channels...awesome video keep em comin
You're not the only one nervous about sharks in the water. I'd like to think though they are a bit farther out from our coast, based on patters of Ocearch.
Where abouts did you go? Some spots I probably wouldn't try cause on Ocearch I've seen sharks go by there.
I was at a beach on the southern shore on Sunday and was in about 2-3 feet of water around the rocky, sea weed area and we found a ton of crabs, mostly medium sized. Unexpectedly we found a large lobster moving along the weeds and filmed in.
Chimney corner beach in cape Breton is awesome for snorkeling
Don't worry about dinner. The cold water snorkeling footage is gold. Not everyone swims in cold water but those that do.........
Love seeing whats just under the waves off shore in NS. So beautiful!
Those small schooling fish are actually sand lance, a favourite food for mackerel and seals .
Being from southern New Brunswick and surrounded by the ocean I love these kinds of vids. I have family all over Nova Scotia.
We did a lot of scallop diving when we were kids on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia. Huge scallops and they are still there. So tasaty.
Can you recommend the closest place to halifax? Thank you
????
Fascinating and a little surprising to see this underwater world off the Nova Scotia coast.
Thank you so much for this beautiful video 🙏😊
Wow the water is so clear, so lucky thank you for sharing.
Those lobsters are beautiful underwater!
So beautiful on the ocean floor!
That was absolutely mesmerizing! So amazing to see the bottom of the ocean. Beautiful!
Noah, I absolutely love this video and very much want to see lots more of them. It is a whole new and different world under the sea. At least that is what Sebastian the crab said in the Little Mermaid movie....lol The movement of the kelp and other plants is mesmerizing. No wonder you where there for over 5 hours as it put you in a trance. The only place I know of where you can get scallops is either at Clearwater or Fishermen's Market on the Bedford Highway or on the side of the road from a road side vendor....lol Looking forward to seeing more of what this province has to offer on land and under the water. Stay safe out there, but I would highly recommend that you take someone along with you even if they don't get in the water. Always nice to have a buddy along with you in case something goes wrong. Catch you on the next adventure. Tom.
loved it ,never seen a scalloped straight from the ocean ,hope you get one so i can see ...
Absolutely beautiful....yes, more videos like this.
Do you live in Nova Scotia?
Thanks Don, I do.
@@NorthernScavenger Hi. I live in Eastern Passage, friend and I were looking to forage in new areas. We got some pretty nice coastal areas here. Have you been doing this long? (beautiful footage btw, cool to see these sea life on our shore) I think up along the coast of the Northumberland Strait you may find scallops, saw a video on here. The waters are warmer and sands darker there.
So many of these tiny coves and inlets in Nova Scotia...I think it would takes years for an individual to explore them all...what a great way to get around to some of them using a paddle board...for me though, I think I would be spending more of my time falling off rather than paddling...lol...thanks for taking me along on your adventure...
So cool man. Yes, keep them videos coming
Great video Noah. Good luck at finding scallops!
Watching your adventures is awesome, great vids. Thanks so much.
amazing underwater footage!
These vids are great, Noah. 👍🙂
You rock! Loved it.
Awesome. I've never seen a basic bit of Nova Scotia underwater film like this. It's raw and beautiful. It looks so doable. I've snorkeled in the Aegean Sea in may spots and this film was equally beautiful.
Northern Snorkeler
One of the best videos yet!!!
I love that you pernounced scallops the correct way lol I commercial scallop in the winter off the coast of Maine
Like you said scallops like sandy bottom that’s where your going to find them. If you find some scallops you should try eating one raw out of the shell it’s amazing
thankyou for this video and yes diving vids are great
lobsters are cool little guys
Hey buddy! Love your video! I was doing some research about spearfishing and Lobster diving in Nova Scotia and yours was the fist one to pop up. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
One safety tip though: whenever you dive (no matter how deep) take your snorkel out of your mouth. Just let it hang on the side of your face. The reason for that is if you ever do black out (which I really hope you don't) the snorkel would be like a "funnel" in your mouth, filling your lungs with water... very dangerous. the other reason is, that you don't have to blow your snorkel out first when you get back to the surface to take a breath. Especially after a longer dive you don't want to be doing that but just simply take a deep breath.
Hope to see more of your videos! Stay safe!
nice underwater footage, thanks.
This video makes me even more excited to move out there some day
Noah, this was so fun. The underwater tranquility and lushness, the catch and prep and delicious eating from the ocean, good company, and a bit of adventure getting back.
Thank you for sharing with us.
I loved this.
Thanks Noah. Brings back so many memories from my teenage days on the south shore. These days I live in Thailand so it's always enjoyable to be reminded what a beautiful place Nova Scotia is.
a cool trip for this old boy .i.m from there my people are from there 150years thay fiched the south
Beautiful! Would love more snorkel/SUP videos on the shores of NS! Cool with all the lobsters you found, I thought they were mostly active at night but seems like you found a bunch!
OMG, sketchy is right! I was on the edge of my seat for that trip back. Not sure if you heard of Murphy's Camping on the Ocean down Sheet Harbour way but I am betting Dave the owner could tell you of some really cool spots. We used to go down there yearly for about 5 in a row and he would drop us off on an Island with our boats, we would stay for the week. There were quite a few good places to snorkel in that area. Thanks for sharing. :) :)
Amazing environment! Snorkeling rulz!
That was so picturesque. Thank you so much for that video! Beautiful.
Cool! Bet the water was too? Thanks for sharing a bit of ocean coastline in an area not seen much. Was amazed at how much life is swimming around there. You may have to trade scallop hunting for lobster catching. Well done.
Directly off shore from Indian Point is an Island. On the far side of the Island, out of view of the land, the Heisler family built wooden fishing vessels for many years. To seaward and into the bay last I visited there is a thriving shellfish farm.
It was at Indian Point I learned the truth of the Sculpin. Nasty sharp spines. Dont step on one.
Once again bringing me back to my childhood! Loving the marine footage man! Great work!
Loving these snorkeling videos in Nova Scotia. Pretty sure you've convinced me to gear up next summer.
really enjoyed that video Noah. trouble is now we are craving scallops.
I usually find them 30-40 ft. Scuba diving ,also on slopes where lots of water flow,and muddy areas
awesome love it. thanks!
Yes! More of these videos! And info on locations and gear!
That was pretty cool! I always love seeing stuff under water! It's such a beautiful thing!!
Noah...from woods to water, SWEET...as a fellow scuba/snorkel fan - was great to see you enjoy "below the waves"!
More like this!!!! Great job.
Great video Noah,awesome photography,love it..i am a licensed diver and did most of my diving on the west coast,the ocean is an amazing place like another world.I don't think i have ever dove when it was time to come up that i wanted to..enjoy your new hobby,i think i know you will and i am looking forward to your future videos..take care and stay safe! :-)
loved it!
Wonderful
Northern cold water snorkeling vids are as rare as scallops, keep it up man seriously awesome micro adventures these little shore dives.
I did this same activity on the south shore a couple years ago with one of my friends... i later on found the sharktivity app and checked to see what was around when I was in the water... "Hilton" had pinged a satellite about 1.5 kms from the little island we were on within a 4 hour window of when we were in the water... it was an eerie feeling... lol amazing footage nicely done.
haha, I feel that! I had plans to check out Blue Rocks until I saw Hal the 1400 lb white shark hanging out there
@@NorthernScavenger I have since bought a really big knife... I will at least poke it once or twice while one is eating me.
I'm really enjoying your snorkeling adventures! I've always wanted to get scuba certified, just haven't had the time yet, but watching your snorkeling has been motivating. It looks beautiful down there!
When I go down to PEI, scallops are always on the top of my list of things to eat. I like to buy them by the pound, take them home and cook them up. They are relatively cheap too. I like them better than lobster. This was an enjoyable video Noah. It is nice to see the Nova Scotia coast. Perhaps for your next video you could do one of a Great White Shark, up close and personal! They are there.
I really enjoyed your video. 😊
If you want to know where the scallops are go to Liscomb Lodge and ask the Captain ;-)
When I went to nova scotia a couple years ago, I just remember there being a lot of jellyfish in the water, which personally made it unpleasant to swim, and it's sad because the numbers of jellyfish are up because of pollution primarily
but here I don't see any
“These guys are pretty ugly, pretty much all head and they don’t much” 😂
Awesome, thanks for sharing. You're extremely BRAVE!! Texas
Great video man ! I'd love to see a few more of this type ! Cheers
Great video. Love seeing what lies beneath! Watching from Newfoundland
Those lobsters were ready to come atcha! hahahah I love how scary they think they are.
I think I would have caught 2 or 3 of those lobster because I have never tried them , that flimsy work was cool the blues and turquoise green water is pleasant to the eyes
Group of lobster = pod 👍🏻
we call that 'Bear Beach' because we've seen them so many times. Lots of good eating for them around there, but they're really skittish and always take off when they see or smell you.
Will be back this summer, would be great to explore.
I'm canadian but have lived most of my life in Australia. The water clarity in areas you chose is amazing.
Pity you can't catch lobsters.
I like how you spent time talking about snorkelling on your own. Although it's not something to do. Always best with a buddy.
Cheers
wow that was beautiful! thanks for sharing!
Great videos brother! Keep em coming!👍😀
I loved the amazing underwater footage. I thought that the lobster was becoming ever more rare to good sizes because of over fishing. I feel a little better now.! Thank you for sharing.!
Great video,thanks for sharing!
very cool video, great underwater footage. Sorry, I don't know where there are scallops around here...cheers.
Very cool man, awesome to get to see parts of my province I may never see in person. I would definitely be scared of a shark encounter haha. Looking forward to future snorkeling videos, be safe!
Ps- I had no idea lobster also lived so close to shore
The blue and orange lobster was gorgeous
Yooooo what I’m from Nova Scotia shout out to you man beautiful province
Noah Scotia😊
Great vid buddy! Looks awesome and I’m hoping to dive in shortly
Enjoyed
I really enjoyed that. Thanks for the video.
I would have felt the same way. Feeling like I’m prey to another species is unnerving. It takes bravery to explore! Great video I really enjoyed as I’m not that brave to go underwater when it’s a bit dark. Your video made our part of the world look so beautiful, bright and gentle. I might give it a try this summer thanks to you!
“Shark attacks don’t happen often in NS.” 😂 Once in 1891.
That was incredible!
Love this video.
thanks again noah! great vid as usual! yeah, buoyancy's a bitch with a 5mil. if you don't wanna get a weight belt, just throw some rocks in a fanny pack. but be careful, it's easy to overdo it and make it hard to get back up. love the new snorkeling theme!
Thanks Benny, if I get more into this I will need to make a few upgrades
Wow.. im from and live in Florida.. interesting to see that.. very beautiful and allot of life.. come down to the keys one day and check our ocean out lol
Great video, baby bear to mama bear what's for lunch?....Noah
Really enjoyed the video.
Awesome video Noah
I enjoy all of your videos.
I will check with a couple of my lobster fishing buddies and try to get some Intel for you.
If I find anything out, I'll let you know.
Cheers
Loved
Nice video!
Wow, awesome snorkel, would love to see more. I have done a very small amount of it and like you, am timid with the shark issue around Nova Scotia right now. :( I think I may look like a nice big tasty seal and that may be a problem, for me anyway. haha! I would not want to deal with bears necessarily but feel a bit less timid of those than sharks. Hope to see more and by the way, the music was wonderfully matched to what you were seeing down there, very soothing! Thanks for sharing. :)
When are lobster in season...? Forget the scallops. lol They usually hang in the transition area where the seagrass meets the sand.
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately there is no recreational lobster license in Nova Scotia
Epic foootage brah! Sending support from NH!
Went snorkelling off of Indian point. (Just outside mahone bay) found plenty of scallops not huge in size but tasted great! Where abouts on the south shore were u in this video?
Another great video Noah! Beautiful Thanks. We have lots of scallops here on Haida Gwaii, well, in the ocean, so in winter, after a storm , they're walking on the beach. Maybe in 2021 we'll be open to visitors, or earlier. No need to fear bears here, even though they're the largest in the world, they're harmless and protected. I hope your Labrador movie wins some major awards. The series was amazing. Idk how you could be afraid of anything after doing all that, however, you had friends to watch your back.
It is irresponsible to tell people especially not very intelligent ones that bears are "harmless".
Hey Noah! Love your videos! You've inspired me to go out more and I started fishing this summer! I live in Halifax, NS and would be super grateful if you could point me in the right direction to catch my first trout! Have a blessed day
Send us an email, we can chat
Good video. Can't you take lobster instead?
Hey buddy; this video was awesome. It’s so cool seeing what’s under our water. Growing up in north Sydney , I always wanted to get scuba gear and dive around the ballast grounds
Edit: I’m in cape Breton
I want to bike out and snorkel. I've bine diving in papermill lake but I'm saving for a pair of fins, hoping to get in the ocean soon
