Sunrise beach Thieves

[scharmack]

A couple friends and I had two amazing dives from my boat today. What looked to be a mother and father with a young boy pulled up, quickly donned scuba attire dove in and filled a lobster bag stuffed full of scallops and took off!!!! What you did was ILLEGAL and by the way you went about it you no doubt are aware of that!!!!!!!!

Call the Washington State Fish and Game with their information. They would really like to know about this. I really hate it when divers do this.

If caught here in Brazil, those people would be in jail. Charged with an ambiental crime, and those type of crimes are unbailable.

I know this from experience. If you happen to have a camera, snap some photos, get a licence plate of the car and call the local or state wildlife commission. They will take care of it., Atleast they will in Florida
