Lobster Hunting (California Spiny Lobster or Panulirus interruptus) while SCUBA diving. For this video I used a GoPro HD Hero2 in the GoPro underwater Dive housing with a head mount. A normal lobster dive isn't this action packed and it took several dives to capture everything, all edited down to about six minutes...

Pinoyfisher look it up, you're maybe confused by the guitar fish (a species of saltwater ray), angel sharks are super rare, according to all my shark books (not stories) and a little scientific research, scientists had determined that this amazing species of shark are about to disappear, in other words, they are *critically endangered species*.

The Pacific angelshark is classified as near-threatened which is 3 categories down from critically endangered. There aren't "just a few left", they're pretty common actually.

@angelcarreno6544 7 жыл бұрын

A 2006 study showed that these we're critically endangered species, but then their population started to grow in the past few years converting them in vulnerable shark species.

A Game Warden is walking along a beach one morning when he spots a man with a bucket of lobsters. The Warden walks up to the man, flashes his badge and says "You're in big trouble, buddy. Poaching lobsters is a serious offense". The man answers "You've got it all wrong, these lobsters are my pets! Every morning I take them out for some exercise. I let them swim around in the ocean for a few minutes and then whistle them back in." The Warden looks at the man skeptically and says "Ok then, prove it." The man proceeds to throw the lobsters into the ocean and both he and the Warden stand there waiting. After a couple minutes the Warden looks at the man and says "That's long enough, now whistle your lobsters back in." The man turns to the Warden and says "Lobsters? What lobsters?"

Such good memories...great video! We used to do this a few times a week in winter, and by Super Bowl Sunday we had enough lobster and abalone for 20 people to eat until ready to burst. (Yes, the old days when you could still find 12" red and pink abalone and were allowed to take them on SCUBA). I have to say though, you're a lot quicker than we were. You're like a lobster gathering ninja. A few of those in the rocks would have easily escaped,, leaving me with an antenna in my hand but nothing else. Thanks for this!

Love the video! I think this season is too close to closing for me to get my diving act together, but maybe next season. A couple years back I snuck onto a pier at night after the gates closed (nighttime photography purposes) and I found a guy out at the end of the pier with a three ring net. It was the first night of the season, and about every fifteen minutes he would pull up the net and pull a couple lobster out. But after seeing this Id rather dive for them!

these aren't lobsters, they just look like them so we call them lobsters, it's a misnomer. In the decapod crustaceans, actual lobsters are in infraorder astacidea, but spiny lobsters are in achelata. shrimp are caridea, crabs are brachyura. basically these "lobsters" are as far from true lobsters as crabs are

Shark attacks are extremely rare. It's one of those things I would classify as an irrational fear. As a matter of fact, I don't believe a SCUBA diver has ever been the victim of a shark attack in Southern California.

Rick Coleman u are right the only reason there has been 40 scuba shark attacks in the last 80 years and the only reason for that is the shark probably thought the diver was a sea lion pup because they were decompressing and the sharks were all great white and from my nolege there aren't many up there
