What I use for a Hand Dredge is a pool net (swimming pool cleaning net). I
use the flat oval one that has an opening about 8-10" tall and about 20"
wide. They are sturdy and in-expensive. I have carried it on many trip
where I will stick it in my BCD and swim to shallower water (grasses) and
swim around dragging it through he grasses as I am off gassing. I would
also take it to a silt bottom and drag it on the bottom for the last 5
minutes or so of the dive. This has produced a fantastic amount of smaller
shells from Marginellas, Cones, Terebras, Turrids, Calliostoma, and on and
on.

Hello you all ,
I like to have tips and trics to make an useful handdredge ?
Does anybody know what is the best way of making one ?
It is important to me , I go on holiday for the Balearic island of Menorca ,
a Mediterranean island between spain and Italy , and I like to catch
Marginellids (of course!!)
So it will come in handy if I could take a handdredge!
Many greetings , Jan Neefs
