divers in new york state can get lobsters in two ways, one get a permit from the state of new york for resident non-commercial lobster permit for about five dollars, which allows a bag limit of six lobsters, a non-resident permit is more costly. or if you dive off a commercial dive boat most of them have a commercial federal and state permit which you would be taking the lobster under , then there is no bag limit ( like a lobster trap fisherman) but you still must follow the size, two claws only per lobster, and no eggs guide lines with ether method. the captain has to report the amount of catch of every kind of fish and shellfish taken to national marine fisheries in triplicate each trip and send in the forms each month.dives from out of state , or out of the country can take lobster or shellfish when diving from a charter boat with the proper permits, or fishing from a party fishing boat . -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
