Closed. Lots of Puget Sound king crabs for the taking, though.

Looks like if I'm diving and I see a crab that is not a dungie I can take him home as long as he's 4 inches.

Yup, close relative of the brown box crab. No size limit. No SCUBA.

Hey guys just wanted to know what time ppl are planing on diving on sat! I havnt dove albion cove before and I would like some guidance in finding uni and box crabs there! Im thinking of trolling around for salmon if the bite is good in the morning and diving around 12 or earlyer if a. I limit  :smt007( unlikely  :smt010:smt044 or b. I get tired of it. I would love to get some box crabs and If any one happens upon a small one (smaller than 8 in overall length) while there I would love to take it back to my work! I work at a small teaching aquarium in redwood city and i think it would be awesome to show the kids a puget king! Thanks for the help guys!
