  • In this video we show you how we quickly catch our lobster limit while diving at night! Bully netting is a very popular strategy for catching lobster at night, but we prefer to get in and catch them with our hands! We also think they are too scared to get in!
    Its a little scary at first, but its super fun. We have been diving at night for lobster for years and its one of our favorite ways to catch them! Over all the years of doing this, we only know of one other family that dives at night where we do.
    Would you dive at night? let us know in the comments below!

    Awesome - totally down with that method of catching em. One big down side to bully netting is surface wind and wave action makes it hard to see them at times. Your night snorkeling method eliminates that issue. Great video!

      Down here it’s illegal during mini season, but it’s perfectly legal during regular season! just remember to fly a dive flag and keep it lighted for other boaters to see. Of course, always check your local rules and regulations.

      We use Princeton Tec sector 5 and sector 7 for night diving, and their torrent LED for spearfishing in caves. Any light will work though, the brighter the better!

      Night diving in Monroe is only illegal during mini season. It’s perfectly legal during regular season. It’s also legal to night dive during mini season in biscayne bay national park, north of Monroe county.

      only during mini season! This is straight from the FWC website : “Night Diving: Prohibited in Monroe County (ONLY during sport season) Diving is defined as swimming at or below the surface of the water.”

      Please feel free to read up on the Florida night diving laws. We use a dive flag that is lit at all times. Other boaters should be well aware that we are diving due to the lighted dive flag and lights in the water.
