After a little more than an hour for a surface interval, I was the first one over for the second dive.
I figured 20 minutes was my max time.
I went 10 minutes South and 10 minutes back grabbing three small lobsters while running into three very large spider crabs.
All the lobsters were way short!
I released them before surfacing.
I told the divers where I had been.
We debriefed on the boat and in the parking lot with some Heineken.
I brought my girlfriend Jane home two lobster tails that Reverend Al was kind enough to detail.
Reverend Al found and returned my lobster bag that I lost from dive #212.
