With Dan out of commission, I took his buddy Rafael.<\/p>\n

We did a surface interval that was at least an hour and went over each other’s equipment, hand signals and the dive plan.<\/p>\n

I jumped overboard early because I had to take a piss; I waited for Rafael at the anchor line.<\/p>\n

We submerged down the anchor line to 99 feet and went East to shallower areas.<\/p>\n

Rafael stayed close by; almost too close as we bumped into each other several times.<\/p>\n

We ran across a shrimpy lobster that Rafael caught and later threw back as being so small it was an embarrassment.<\/p>\n

We then came by another one that Rafael grabbed and bagged – his first legal lobster!<\/p>\n

I spotted a lobster shortly thereafter and grabbed for it before Rafael – I have always forewarned people how shitty of a buddy I am when it comes to lobster hunting.<\/p>\n

We started heading back half way in to the dive.<\/p>\n

I have no idea where the sound was coming from, but during the entire dive I heard a “thump-thump… thump-thump.”<\/p>\n

Sort of like a heart beat; maybe it was Rafael’s computer?<\/p>\n

Rafael motioned to go up; we were both following his dive profile.<\/p>\n

We slowly swam to the surface doing our safety stop for several minutes; he didn’t seem concerned about current, but I would take the long swim if need be.<\/p>\n

Back on the boat, the lobsters were more lucrative for the other divers than the last spot.<\/p>\n

Bob used his scooter and expensive lights to cover a huge area and come back with a bag stuffed with lobsters.<\/p>\n

\"Me<\/p>\n

This trip netted me three legal lobsters.<\/p>\n

\"Rafael<\/p>\n

Rafael shows off his first legal sized lobster!<\/p>\n

\"Bob<\/p>\n

Bob shows off his monster bug!<\/p>\n

What a difference equipment can make!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
