Hi Rick. Amazing video. I just got into SCUBA 2 months ago (PADI Advanced Open Water certified, ready for PONY bottle training) and my next goal is to hunt lobster at night here in Puerto Rico. I sure enjoyed the picture of you with your lights and GoPro mounted on you at :36 - which frees up both hands to catch the lobster. Your video is so well presented it almost looks like you have another person to carry the lights and camera - although the angle from the camera looks to be head-mounted and the picture confirms it. Is that your battery pack at 3:08? With your batteries, lights/camera assembly, capture-bag, etc., you probably can remove a lot of your normal BCD additional weight, right? What does that do to your balance/trim?
Thanks very for the extra editing where you identified most of the sea creatures in the video. Very helpful for those of us who are new to this ecosystem.
I am 71 years old, a former professional pilot and skydiver. This is my current adventure before I get too old for activities like this. Any chance of you providing a link to where your camera and lights, etc can be purchased? Any other particulars you can share would be much appreciated. ;)

John B - 6 years ago

RIck, thank you very much for sharing that information. When someone goes down a new path (like this) it is easy to buy equipment they later regret. This will be very helpful.

What are you using for mounts on the mask strap and the video Archon v10v or Archon D11? (Nothing recommended on Amazon)

Rick Coleman - 6 years ago

Yes, that is my lighting setup and batteries at the time spots you referenced. At the time I used NiteRider HID dive lights, which required bulky batteries. They have since gone out of business. The good news is that current lighting technology offers amazing options. Now I simply attach a self contained light to my mask strap. I like the Archon v10s if you aren't shooting video. If you are shooting video you would need a light without a hotspot, like the Archon v10v or Archon D11V. I've ordered many of these type of lights from Hong Kong, through Ebay. They use lithium 18650 batteries. The problem with video lights that don't have a hot spot is that they don't penetrate for great distance viewing. For my current lobster hunting setup I have video light on my mask (Archon D11v or V10V) and I hand hold a more powerful Archon DY01(lithium 26650 battery) on a retractor for distance viewing. I can let that light go for 2 handed grabs.

Great Video!!! Im so envious that you can get to a dive spot by kayak in California. Closest artificial reef in New Jersey is 3 miles off shore. Get a 2.2lb bruce anchor. It holds me in amy ocean current and its a lot easier to pull up from deep waters than that bug mushroom you have.

wayne adam - 8 years ago

There is no sport in taking crayfish/ Lobster with a dive set on. They barely stand a chance. In most parts of Australia it is illegal to take them unless conducting freediving.

Jason Harrold - 6 years ago

its a lot safer to scuba and grab a lobster then it is to free dive and get one, a guy died last year doing it and he was an Expert expert Diver, shallowwater blackout

Olwyn Freeman - 8 years ago

+wayne adam That's not true at all. The law only says you can't use a spear or hook of any kind. Scuba is fine.

Guy inSJ - 8 years ago

An Electric Stingray produces 30 amperes and a voltage of 50 to 200 volts, not 45V as you have mentioned in the video. Any electric less than 80V (even with large current) is non-lethal for human. Any electric less than 50V, you barely feel anything.

I tried grabbing some while snorkeling, but missed more than I grabbed. I always seem to scare them off with my lights before I can get close enough to grab them. I got my SCUBA cert for this year, so hopefully I will fair better this time.

Ronnicus - 9 years ago

I don't understand why you guys take so many lobsters. Why can't you guys just take like 3-4 per dive. That's the reason lobster stocks have plummeted in recent years

Rick Coleman - 9 years ago

+Ronnicus This video is a compilation from numerous dives over the course of a six month lobster season. So, while it might give the impresson that we are able to grab countless lobster per dive, that really isn't the case. There are also strict regulations with size and bag limits that must be observed. Posting a video of the dives where I've got skunked would probably make for a pretty boring video.

serpantseed08 - 9 years ago

+Rick Coleman Thank u for your answer. The reason I asked is because I like to go fishing. And that being said I've thought about trying spear fishing. But I don't want sharks swimming with me lol. Thanks again. cheers!

Rick Coleman - 9 years ago

+serpantseed08 Fearing sharks while scuba diving would be an irrational fear. There simply aren't attacks on scuba divers. I've never heard of one in Southern California. I usually feel comfortable and never really think about sharks during a dive, however if I'm floating on the surface or have a long surface swim the irrational shark fear sometimes creeps into my mind...

Daily bag limit and in possession, each catch must be recorded on a lobster card. There is currently not a season limit, but talks of one.

deedeeiam - 10 years ago

+Rick Coleman A bag limit of 7 for the season or a day?

Kneefur - 10 years ago

+Rick Coleman thanks!

Rick Coleman - 10 years ago

You definitely need to make sure you are up to speed on all the rules. Here's the main ones: You need to have a fishing license, lobster card, and a measuring device. The limit is seven and there is a specific season. There are also many areas that are closed to fishing, so you need to make sure you are hunting in a legal area.

+David Zhao There are other creatures that you can harvest, but I'm not sure about stone crabs. To SCUBA dive you will need to get certified. You can start by calling local dive shops as they would all offer certification classes. Good luck - Rick

What kind of go pro should I get???
And where are you hunting

hjwigler 2.0 - 10 years ago

Thanks keep up the good vids

Rick Coleman - 10 years ago

+hjwigler All the GoPro's are good. I use a hero2. The newest model is the hero4, but you can also pick up the older models used.

Hi rick. How deep was your dive?

Rick Coleman - 10 years ago

+Jaden Rodriguez They got me on pure oxygen right away, then five hours in a re-compression chamber, followed by no diving for six weeks.

TruFrosty - 10 years ago

+Rick Coleman wow how did you get better

Rick Coleman - 10 years ago

+Jaden Rodriguez If you follow your dive tables/computer it's very unlikely that you will get decompression sickness. That being said I did get decompression sickness, AKA the bends, while on a trip to Bonaire several years ago. Now I dive more conservatively and use enriched air (nitrox) which provides a greater safety margin.

TruFrosty - 10 years ago

+Rick Coleman don't you get decompression sickness ????

Rick Coleman - 10 years ago

+ponce de mateo I rarely go deeper than 60 feet deep.

Walter White - 10 years ago

hi. why do you a scale to measure the lobster and where can i find such scale. by the way i love your videos you are amazing my friend.

Rick Coleman - 10 years ago

+Walter White For a lobster to be legal to keep the carapace must be a minimum of 3 1/4". Try googling "lobster gauge California"

Eli Garcia - 10 years ago

It is amazing you have such a similar spiny bug as in SoFla, but then I started to notice that your sealife is not all that far different than here! Very Cool, and Thanks for sharing. The GoPro and Lighting setup do make for a great hands free lobster grabbing combo.

Loved It!!

mike simon - 10 years ago

Can you please post a tutorial on how to make a bag just like the one you use ?

Rick Coleman - 10 years ago

I'm not sure if I would get around to actually making a tutorial, but here's more info on what I did: I purchased a bag with a trap door opening, but I didn't like the capacity of the attached bag. If you do a search for "lobster inn" you'll come across different styles of bags with this trap door opening. I followed the style with a zipper on the bottom and sewed myself a much larger bag. At a local fabric store I purchased the materials, - canvas, netting type material and a zipper for the bottom, The bag attaches to the pvc trap door with a gigantic zip tie. The diameter of the bag can be much larger than the the diameter of the pvc opening as you can bunch the bag up along the zip tie. Benefits include being able to fit more big lobster in the bag, plus a large lobster can't stick out it's legs and get hung up on the bag when shoving it in...
Hope that helps.

Rick Coleman - 10 years ago

The lobster have sharp spines, under the tail, in front of the eyes, etc. So, you do want to wear gloves when grabbing them.

Hi I'm Tim from O.C. if you ever want a dive buddy just say the word. One question where did you get the light setup. the color and the clareity man is off the charts! I think you're in the south bay area. I could watch your video's for hours. best one is with the baby seal "lol"

IrieAdventures - 8 years ago

Im in San Clemente when I am in SoCal. Don't have my scuba cert yet but i freedive for bugs when I can. Very interested in a nice headlamp as having both hands free would make all the difference!

Stevens Gallero - 10 years ago

Bryan Cotellese - 10 years ago

What light system are you using and also your mount for the go pro? Because I have filmed under water an I have not been getting good results.

Rick Coleman - 10 years ago

You can see my lighting at :36 I use a gopro headmount and niterider hid lights with video diffusers on the sides of my head. Unfortunately the dive division for niterider is out of business

You are incredibly blessed to live where you do, so that you can enjoy such an incredible hobby. Have you ever came across anything that activated the pucker factor? Large sharks perhaps? ..or even more ominous, Humboldt Squid? Be careful down there!

how do you kill them? is there a way to kill them humanely?

xcvsdxvsx - 10 years ago

+bangel1001 Yes that sounds much better than being thrown in boiling water. Thanks.

bangel1001 - 10 years ago

drop them in an icy salt bath, it throws them into immediate shock and they dont know they are freezing to death, leave them in for 30 mins or so. Makes the meat easier to get out later, too

Ever be willing to do a private charter? My brother and I got the shaft from a guide service down there near Catalina Island. 3 days and we didnt catch a single bug. Later on the last dive they admitted they only take very wealthy people where the good bugs are.

Jose L Jurado - 10 years ago

That is so selfish and rude. How could you do that to the poor lobsters? There will be a time when people who like to eat lobsters will regret it.

Your right, I should not give them the honor of being called conservationists, more like moronic imbeciles. Thanks.

+xsnrg714 true the people who hunt always fallow regulations and keep the animal populations in the right spot so that smaller animals can get a chance, including lobsters.

xsnrg714 - 10 years ago

These aren't conservationists that make such comments, just ignorant trolls. We that actually DO dive and/or hunt on land know who the real conservationists are, Us.

Anita Moorhead - 10 years ago

I get so sick of these bleeding heart, couch potato conservationists. Please just shut up, and watch a different video. Sheesh.

I wonder if Jose eats meat... If not, this comment is merely ridiculous. If he does, then this comment is the height of hypocracy.

Bryan Cotellese - 10 years ago

It will be the day pigs fly; its like fishing and there are still regulations. That's why you have measure the lobster: undersized equals release

eusebiogranada - 10 years ago

Why? Are they endangered? It is a food chain.

adanac96 - 10 years ago

I really liked how you showed clips of the different fish with annotations of what they were. I've been free diving around orange county for about a year and a half now and I'm always seeing things and wondering what they are. I found those annotations very helpful and would love to see more of that!

Rick Coleman - 11 years ago

The concern with sharks is way overblown. I'm not aware of any fatal shark attacks in Southern California on a SCUBA Diver. We are loud and scary with our bubbles. Even though the statistics prove that the fear is completely irrational, sometimes the thought does creep into my mind when I'm doing a long surface swim or bobbing on the surface. My time underwater is usually peaceful/relaxing and free of any fear.

Rick Coleman - 11 years ago

My friends and I usually head different directions on our dives, so they are essentially "solo" dives. They are neoprene gloves. They are several year old and most of my finger tips have worn through, so the tips have been reinforced with good old fashioned duct tape..

Latimus - 11 years ago

Great video, thanks for sharing. I have a few questions for you that I hope you could answer for me: 1) Do you dive alone? 2) What type of gloves are you wearing? Are they Kevlar reinforced to help protect the spikes on the lobsters? Thanks!

DrRubrDucky - 11 years ago

Rick Coleman - 11 years ago

Aligi, If all the people like you used your kind of reasoning, they'd be in Congress.

nagtch - 11 years ago

I don't know why I find it so hilarious to watch a guy just swim up and grab a lobster. It's just so entertaining. I'll have to do some lobster hunting myself, next summer!

Premiumturtle - 11 years ago

I love your videos dude keep up the good work!! :D

Luke Everett - 11 years ago

How do you mount your GoPro? I'm trying to figure out the best way to mount mine to record my lobster dives. Also, are you wearing a headlamp? Seems like you always have two free hands for a grab and you still have light.

Rick Coleman - 11 years ago

Hi Aligi, there is nothing in my video that is illegal. You could argue whether it's "easy" or not. Conditions during lobster season in California are more challenging than areas with warm clear water. My typical dive spot would have 52F water, 10 foot or less visibility and a 40-70 foot dive depth. A successful free diver in these conditions would be impressive and earn my kudos.

Aligi Ottavio - 11 years ago

Fishing is not fair with tank, easy and illegal ..... congratulations . if all the people like you fish, the sea would be empty ....

Lobster are nocturnal, so during the day the usually stay hidden in their holes. Nighttime is the best time to catch them out, although on some nights this doesn't happen

Iggie Atreydes - 11 years ago

they only out at night?? or its easier to catch at night?

MillionthSlinky - 11 years ago

Well considering that you have probably ate lobster sometime in your life you should shut up. Now if you haven't and you have been vegetarian your hole life then think how much we kills plants for food or think how much waste we dump into oceans a year. Some advice think before you talk(think hard).

Rick Coleman - 11 years ago

Thanks, I've looked at some pictures and think you might be right, although the colors don't seem right, but it is a night dive and the lights are reflecting. I think the dorsal fins is what gives it away. I'd like to add a new caption with the correction, but want to be positive. Can you provide more info on your identification?

It takes practice to grab lobsters successfully and inexperienced lobster hunters will often have a lot of misses. I've learned that lobsters can bite and they also have many sharp spines. It's imperative to wear good gloves, or you would really thrash your hands.
