We're going to an open water spearfishing competition at the end of July in Cape Hatteras, NC, that will be a big challenge. We'll be using spear guns where as now we use a pole spear and we'll be fishing for tuna and wahoo (big game fish). We've been practising our deeper dives as we need to be comfortable at around 50ft. At the moment our average dive is around 35/40ft so still a way to go! The OH is out diving as I write this, fish for supper!!!
you get lobster in that depth ? in the med you have to go 45-50 meter before you see one

It's typical now though, we're seeing loads of them but it's the off season for them and we're not allowed to catch any. There's no lobster fishing between 31st March and 1st Sept. so they get a good chance to breed.

They don't have the big pincers at the front but are covered in little spikes instead.It's typical now though, we're seeing loads of them but it's the off season for them and we're not allowed to catch any.
