Thank you Richard The Brit of Divevets, for the excellent video that he sent me.

It is a step by step training guide on how to teach your dog to dive for lobsters that was put up by the YouTube channel Devoted to the Ocean.

I really have no idea where this channel originates, but my guess is Florida where lobsters apparently sun themselves in daylight and act like they are dead when caught.

Even though I have never dove for lobsters in Florida, I can only say that these are not California lobsters which hide between rocks and in reefs during the day and only come out only at night.

Also, there is no gear code for “Dog” on the California Lobster Report Card, but maybe it would be considered free diving?

Also undetermined, is how would a dog obtain a California fishing license?

Maybe training your dog to catch lobsters is not practical here, or even realistically in Florida, but it is a fun video to watch.

More diving to come!

I promise!

I came across an interesting and extremely macho article about Australian cave diving on Vice News.

These caves are quite unique; as the article states:

“Most caves elsewhere in the world were formed when streams carved holes into ancient fault lines, but South Australia was a little weirder.

“The middle Australian state is book ended by two huge sheets of limestone that formed under the sea. Then later, when the sea drained away, rain gnawed into the limestone to form sprawling networks of water-logged tunnels that disappear for kilometers into the guts of the Earth.”

Once these caves were discovered, the sport of Australian cave diving evolved to explore these caves.

After 11 divers died in a span of six years during the 1970s, the Cave Divers Association of Australia was formed to try and make it safer by kicking out the thrill seekers and suicide freaks.

Anyway, to read the article in it’s entirety, go here:

UPDATE: This dog was adopted Sunday, October 29th and went to a new home!

By the way, this beautiful, loyal and trustworthy dog is still available for adoption.

If you adopt him, he will not get executed.

This dog needs a home – he is an all-American, good ol’ non-terrorist dog!
