What, no bug photos from any of you Nemrod divers?!
Hey guys,
If your into you crayfish / Lobster check this guy out - found him at at about 50 meteres, he weighed in at 11.5lbs.
Safe diving every one
What a fat boy......looks like the lobster down their have some sort of claws compared to United States west coast lobster. Of course East coast lobster have huge claws.....
looks more like 5-7 lbs
When the gallery is up and working a bit better we're going to have posted a photo of a huge coconut crab that looks like it is something out of the Aliens movie.
Here's a decent bug....

That's a quarter on his tail.
not too bad photoTJ, where in Socal do you live?
I don't live anywhere, I work in San Pedro.
Here's a pic of a buddy who had an exceptional day in Miami this weekend.
The bugs weighed 4, 5, & 7.75 lbs!
I guess the Goliaths missed a few.

PhotoTJ, you would't somehow be affiliated with Aloha Dive would you?
Chris at AD told the publisher about an employee whose place burned down and divers were soliciting eachother to help that guy, and our Publisher heard about it just after he gave away a 55" internal projection Mitsibishi TV in great shape.
Yep, unfortunately, that would be me. I was the manager of the Simi Valley store, and am an instructor. Chris is a good guy.
Here are two pics I took in San Diego on 1-31-07.Location:Train wheels.
well thanks for giving us your secret spot, but none of them lookede legal. Going to have to take a looke next year
Only Maine Lobsters have claws! They are in the North East in cold water, but not in the warmer east or south east waters!
Personally, the claws are my favorite part.

I like the whole lobster........yummmm:) . Only another 2 1/2 months before the commercial season opens here.
I guess that'll give plenty of time for the Maine lobsters to make their way up here ... ;) ;) ;)
Here I am holding my 14.5lb lobster and my 11lb one, my friend Tinny is holding my 9lb one!

I take it the East Coast lobster with claws are not quite quick enough to get you with their claws?
A friend got nailed by a small crab and apparently small crabs can pinch quite hard, but that crabs claw pales in comparison to those lobster claws.
This is a west coast lobster, west coast of the UK :D
The bigger they are the slower they are, their claws slow them down. But strength wise they can break any bone in your hand. Clawless lobsters are known as Rock Lobsters, there's very few left as diver pick them up too easily.
It is all about location. The Maine Lobsters (clawed ones) are found in great numbers in the North Atlantic off the coast of the US. In the tropical waters off the south eastern coast of the US there are great numbers of Spiny Lobster and even Slipper Lobster. I can only tell you where I have seen them personally, I don't know about other parts of the world. I have never seen them in California, but I have only been diving there a few times. I did see a good number of them in Jamaica as well off Negril.
