Lobster Diving

   

     Lobster diving is a fun, but dangerous, thing to do. To do this with scuba tanks, you must get certified first. There are two ways to diver for lobster. They are to free dive and to scuba dive. Free diving takes place in usually between 10 and 40 feet. Divers can only hold their breathes for a short amount of time before having to come back up to the surface. But with scuba diving, you can stay underwater for hours.

     To catch lobster, there are a few forms of equipment available. One way to catch lobster is with a net and a tickle stick. The tickle stick is a long metal pole used to draw the lobster out of his hiding spot. The idea is to lure the lobster out of his hiding spot and into the net. Make sure to bring a bag to put all your lobsters in. The other way to fish for lobster is with a looper. A looper is a metal pole with a metal loopp attached to the end of it. At the bottom of the looper stick, there is a little lever that can control the size of the loop in the front. What you do is wrap the medal loop around the lobsters tail and quickly pull it tighter. Be sure to bring a measuring stick with you in the water so you can measure them on the spot and not have to worry about bringing them up to the surface.
