Incredible scalloping experience!…read more My fiancé and I went up to visit the Crystal River Homosassa area for the weekend. I did a quick Google around to find a scalloping charter. I came across mellow mangrove charters. I booked online through their website. It was simple and efficient. I immediately received a confirmation email. We arrived to the location at 6:50 AM for the 7 o'clock departure time. Luckily, all the other guests on the boat arrived on time and we were able to leave promptly. Our captain was knowledgeable and very polite. He took us to a location where there were tons of scallops! He gave us all of the necessary instructions to have a wonderfully productive day! We reached our limit of 2 gallons per person and then we were able to enjoy the rest of the time bubbling around in the water. The boat was clean and comfortable. We are already trying to plan our next adventure to return to homosassa and mellow mangrove charters!

If you don't want to be certified in the grotto then go to the east coast. Other dive shops throughout the Tampa bay region come here to certify their divers. It's over an hour offshore just to get to water deep enough to certify divers. I don't like diving grottos or springs so I got certified on the east cost. Please don't bash this business for using all that they have. This establishment is great. The customer service is awesome. It's not their fault that the area offshore Hudson is so shallow.
