Subject: Lobster in the channel

George:

Could you be more specific about your lobster diving?  I know this
is not real "techie talk" but very interesting.

Is this wall open to divers at night?  We night dive for lobster weekly
up here (in New York and Jersey) but do not have to deal with
sharks (just 3' vis).  Typically, our inlets can be dove(dived?) after dark.

What is the problem with the sharks?

Thanks.

  Richie, I like any toys, this is true. If I had one and knew exactly how 
to
ficx it, I would play with it. I do have one excellent application: the 
ships
channel in Ft Lauderdale into Port Everglades has walls all along it loaded
with
lobster, but it is illegal to dive any where near it. It is a nightmare in
the
dark with the big sharks, so a rebreather would allow proper daytime diving.

  Our solution so far is to anchor a few hundred feet away and scooter over.
I
still got busted a few years ago doing that when the sheriff saw me
sccotering
bck, but he got me for no dive flag.

   You would be a big hit Port diving with the machine.
