Scuba divers get ready! Two days of lobster hunting is about to start. At 12:01 Wednesday morning through midnight Thursday, divers are allowed to bag 6 lobsters each per day in most areas.
The regular lobster season is August 6 - March 31 and the catch limit is half what it is during the miniseason. Lobsters must be at least 3 inches long and measured in the water and no egg-bearing females are allowed to be kept.
Divers must have a saltwater fishing license ($17 for residences) and a $5 lobster stamp.
Unfortunately, every year there are stories of drownings. Individuals who have not dived for years jump in unprepared and without a buddy and the results are deadly.
Always, always, always dive with a buddy. Do that and you can have a great time in our warm water with no free of being tainted by oil.
Stay safe.
