Crab season is delayed. Lobsters are calling. I broke the rule because I thought of going for only 1 lobster trip for this year. Asked a few of my dive buddies if they are up for it, Rudy is up so we went down after work.
The plan was to jump in when we got there around 1am until sunrise. Sleep a bit, then dive again from midnight to sunrise again.
It was an intense lobster diving trip.
It is so much fun diving for them. Cannot wait for next year.

Thanks guy. Do it if you have not. Way better than ab diving because you trash a pair of gloves after the trip.  :smt044

Oh man, what a haul! Must have been a big time feast at your house when you finally woke up. Did you drive down to Santa Barbara area and back for this haul? Just shore diving or did you get out to the islands?
