After the shark feed we dove Lobster No Lobster.
Did you know that lobsters migrate? They do, and neither European nor African swallows are involved.
Jacques Cousteau named this site because on one dive he found this reef just teeming with lobster. The next time he dove it there wasn't a lobster to be found.
Yes Lobster do indeed move around and migrate.
We first dove Lobster No Lobster during the day and didn't see a single lobster.
There was a rather healthy reef system there.
And smiling fish
There were also some quite large Lion fish.
Each spine on a lion fish is venomous and if you touch it, it hurts, a lot. So avoiding these invasive species is a really good idea, and there are unfortunately quite a few of them around.
No lobster in sight.
Still a nice dive.
The night dive however did have lobster.
Big. Lobster.
And a big Crab:
And a tiny Stingray
And best of all, a tiny and cute Octopus!
First time seeing an Octopus in the wild. Very cool.
That was a night dive for the books, we just kept finding cool creatures.
Day Dive: 44 minutes, average depth 27 feet, and a max depth of 32 feet.
Night dive: 1 hour, average depth 24 feet, and a max depth of 31 feet.

I thought there was a bounty on Lionfish, since they are invasive.
Yeah, I thought the same about the lionfish.
And damn, you breathe loud in the video.
Old NFO: Kind of, in the Bahamas you need a license to go after them which we didn't have, and its the one fish there you could legally take while on scuba if you have a license, but you cannot use a speargun but only a polespear or Hawaiian sling type which we didn't have either.
B: Only if licensed and with the right equipment in the Bahamas, and we had neither. The microphone is extra sensitive down there I suppose.
