In NY and NJ divers do not need a permit and can take lobsters any time but they must be of a minimun size. New England states are different, In Mass. divers need to have a permit and the number needs to be displayed on the SCUBA tank. Lobsters can only be taken during the day. And (I think) there might even be a "lobster season". Maybe someone on this list can verify that. Mark Roger Lacasse wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > lobster diving allways puzzled me.
