Men come with old 4x4 pick-up trucks to the beach.
Equipped with inflated inner tubes and diving masks.
In the morning they swim beyond the surf and dive down to knock oysters from the rocks.
They stay in the water diving oysters for about 3 to 4 hours.
Going down to a depth of about 4 meters (13 feet).
When the daily ocean wind starts blowing, they swim back to the beach.
Pulling with them the heavy bags full of oysters.
A morning of diving oysters brings in 500 to 700 Mexican Pesos. ( 25€ -35€ / $37-$51).
Which is good money in a part of Mexico where work is hard to find these days.
