I can assure you that offshore commercial scalloping in winter
is not not much different from crab fishing in terms of difficulty and danger.
One would need a crewmember strictly dedicated to filming to document the whole thing, though.
After working 11 straight hours on your feet with no break to speak of,
then having 5 hours to wash up, eat, do bathroom duties, perhaps make a sat phone call home,
wind down, and get your personal gear in order for the next 11 hour watch,
one doesn't feel much like hanging around to video the other watch in action.
The trip I got home from this past Friday was 15 days dock-to-dock working those watches.
Taking an additonal person on board for this purpose would only be possible in an access area,
as new regulations for the new fishing year which began on March 1st, permit unlimited crew size for access area trips.

Sig Hansen is the ONLY guy I would go to sea with in the whole lot of them Rick's boat, Maverick was in bad enough shape they didn't pass the CC inspection for three days. Other wise he would be a possibility.
