Excellent post, thanks!

Ditto on the thanks! I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but intend to finish it a little later.

I used to dive for abalone on the California coast, but it was strictly sport fishing. The limit was four per day, and no tanks or other air supply was allowed.

I still have quite a few red abalone shells from 7 inches (minimum legal size) up to 10 1/5 inches. Good times, and good food!
