Lobster Season PSA

Filed at 1:44 pm under by Keys

A few other safety tips from DAN:

1. Remember that an underwater hunt strains your body much more than a typical recreational dive.
2. If you do not exercise vigorously and frequently on land, do not dive if you are not fit for it. Do not hunt underwater.
3. Do not lobster hunt on your first dive. If you did not have a chance to make some dives before the mini-season, remember that full lobster season starts in August and lasts through March. Use the preseason time to refresh your skills and improve your fitness. By doing this, you will be ready for many safe lobster hunts during the regular season.
4. Lobster hunting is a serious dive operation, even at a depth of 10 ft (3m). Ensure that the diver in you maintains control over the hunter in you.
5. Remember, you caught nothing if you did not bring it to the surface and cook it.
