This was my second dive of the spiny lobster season which starts either late September/early October until March.
We were only able to catch one spiny lobster that was keeper size this outing. Note, we don’t use scuba to catch these bugs. We only hold our breath and catch them by hand.
Special guest appearances: butterfly ray, corbina, garibaldi, southern kelp crab, and other creatures of the night.
