More Lobster Hunting and Kayak Diving with GoPro

Lobster Hunting and Kayak Diving with Gopro is a compilation of numerous SCUBA dives from the 2012 California spiny lobster (Panulirus interruptus) season, which started in October and ran through the middle of March. Divers must catch lobsters by hand. I posted a previous video from early in the season - this video is all new footage from the remander of the season. Video includes appearances of other creatures encountered such as: octopus, pacific electric ray, swell shark, mating crabs, horn shark, cormorant feeding, california halibut, etc.

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
John B - 5 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
Rick Coleman - 5 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.

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.

Rick, Awesome video dude!! Is this in San Diego?? Might I ask what general area? Do you ever worry about the Moray Eels in the holes? You seem pretty liberal on going into a crevices and holes. 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.

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
Rick Coleman - 8 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.

Hey Rick nice video. could u pls answer my question so I can put my curiosity to rest lol. Aren't u divers afraid of Sharks? I mean the ones that eat people like white shark. Stupid question but hey, no ones perfect lol Thanks! 
serpantseed08
serpantseed08 - 8 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
Rick Coleman - 8 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...

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

+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.

Can you please post a tutorial on how to make a bag just like the one you use ?
Rick Coleman
Rick Coleman - 9 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.

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

Rick Coleman
Rick Coleman - 10 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.
