Lobster Diver

"Give a person a lobster and you've fed him or her for a day. Teach a person to fish and you've fed him or her for a lifetime," goes the old saying.

It is as true today as it was hundreds of years ago.

The waters of the area abound with edible marine life, including the illustrious Homarus Americanas. We'll teach you everything you need to know to put a bountiful lobster feast on your family's table.

For instance, did you know that lobsters take 6-8 years to reach legal size? Or that a female lobster can hatch more than 100,000 lobster fry every other year? How about the fact that lobsters never stop growing? Thus becoming one of the largest crustaceans in the sea. Ah, that's just lobster tech talk. We know you just want to catch em' and eat em'. We'll be glad to show you how. It's a lot of fun!

While the tuition covers only shore diving, you may request a boat dive for a minimal additional fee. It's well worth it since the "big boys" are out a little deeper.
