Snorkelling for lobsters - St Andrews

Lobster freediving in Scotland. A rare break in the weather, and I got snorkelling off St Andrews. Apnea diving for seafood is my favourite pastime.

Love the videos!

Thanks. I appreciate that!

How have you only got less than 1000 subs. Videos are amazing mate!! Reminds me of home (Dundee)

[@tjashton]

I have no idea how to get more subs. The KZbin algorithms are a mystery! Thanks for your comment! Cheers

Gr8 to see you still diving Scottish waters in November & still creating NEW footage for us land-locked 'lockdowners' to savour. Even rockpools look enticing in winter from an armchair! Keep filming, it's always fun beneath the surface. 👌

[@tjashton]

Thanks for your support and appreciation. I’ll do my best to make more videos. We caught a lucky break in the weather last week - it’s back to horrible now. Cheers.

Nice to see a video from a lobster catching dip! I hope you're having a decent visibility this winter!

[@tjashton]

Thanks! And no - there’s no winter vis round here. Other parts of Scotland are ok, but not my home patch. With lockdown, I have to wait ......

@@tjashton we're all in the same boat! Just hang in there!

nice spot for fishing and catching lobsters.

[@tjashton]

It’s a top spot for lobsters. Had a few decent cod over the years, but I’ve not fished too much there

Hey brotha! I’m studying in Edinburgh for the fall and am missing the best time for lobsters in California :( wondering if you’d be willing to help me get a few bugs 🤙 mahalo

Getting kinda hard this time of year. The sea is now quite rough. The surfers are getting excited. My dive kit is in a van on route to Spain where I’ll hopefully find it in a few weeks. If the weather is poor, the east coast is impossible but the west coast can be dived year-round. Hard to find the lobs tho as there’s 1000’s miles of deep coastal water for them to hide

[@Wreckemrage]

How far out are you swimming, im a confident swimmer but never done much swimming in UK waters.

[@tjashton]

I usually stay about 100m from the shore and follow the coastline for 1km or maybe more. Lots of searching about so distance is greater. Then the same on the return. Lobsters are usually 2m to 6m deep, depending on the tides.

[@tjashton]

I’m well out of shape. But it’s so nice to get a dive in November.
