Another lobster trip on the Island Diver!<\/p>\n
The new Captain, six divers and two diving Dive Masters left dock at 7:10 PM.<\/p>\n
Our first stop was the Palawan wreck at 120 feet down.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Dan briefs the divers on this deep dive.<\/p>\n
I was not overly enthused about this place because I would only have 10 minutes or so to look for bugs.<\/p>\n
Dan sent Bob and Chris down with a florescent buoy that he was going to release if conditions and bugs were there.<\/p>\n
We waited; everyone was waiting for the marker to pop up.<\/p>\n
About 20 minutes later, Bob and Chris emerged with the announcement, “We aren’t close to the Palawan or the pipes.”<\/p>\n
Bob had four lobsters stuffed in his bag, but said there weren’t many big ones.<\/p>\n
We moved the boat to the location where the rest of us did our first dive.<\/p>\n
I went down the anchor line and went South and then South West.<\/p>\n
I started to get really narced, but I always maintained my composure.<\/p>\n
The first 10 minutes of my dive I didn’t see one lobster, then I looked down and almost bypassed my first catch of the day.<\/p>\n
I pinned and bagged it.<\/p>\n
I ran across a few more, but only one was legal and I bagged that one.<\/p>\n
I turned around and started heading back.<\/p>\n
Down to 1000 psi I thought to myself, “This is about the time I run across a big lobster that wants to fight.”<\/p>\n
Sure enough, I ran across a big lobster monster and pinned it.<\/p>\n
The lobster monster started to try and escape by frantically flapping its tail; I almost lost my grip.<\/p>\n
I shoved it in my bag half way and started my ascent, making sure not to repeat my close call from a few dives ago.<\/p>\n
I spent a few minutes getting to the surface and emerged to the East of the boat.<\/p>\n
After a 200 foot swim back to the boat, I briefed Bob and Chris on the conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
