Grupo Mayan Exciting World

In recent years many divers visiting the Grupo Mayan enjoy the hunt of Lobster diving, that is commonly known as “Bug Diving”. The actual hunt surrounding these interesting crustaceans is not only fun but also the end results are a tasty treat to finish the day with.

Lobster dives are quite popular in areas of the Grupo Mayan as the divers take to the ocean in search of the Spiny Lobster, which is always in popular demand. All the lobster dive zones generally have precise Lobster hunting seasons defined and unique diving excursions become organized around the start of these seasons. Most tour personnel of the Grupo Mayan are general aware of these seasons and will readily advise you of that. They schedule their dives not only on the season but also on where to dive, the paramount times to accomplish the dives and on any sort of bag limits as well as quantity and size limitations.

A unique feature involving Grupo Mayan dives going down for lobsters is that these creatures have a tendency to dwell in some very appealing places where most divers like to visit anyway such as artificial and natural reefs and undersea shipwrecks. As with other aspects of the hobby of diving, the hunting of bugs requires skill and lots of practice. Lobsters tend to be very intimidating when they snap those big claws around in the water. When you are lobster hunting keep in mind that those claws are very powerful and could easily give a nasty bit to the careless diver. More in lines with the speedy little critters is that you are likely to loose the lobster as it shuttles away long before you are able to scoop it up.

To go bug hunting you require no unusual equipment other then possibly a collecting bag plus a pair of heavy duty gloves. Most Grupo Mayan divers have developed a special system to capture these tasty morsels. When you are diving it would be best for you to circle the reef, or the cavern or the specific wreck searching within the crevices, all the holes or peeking within any cracks you may encounter until you happen to sight the small telltale antennas of the lobster or perhaps those snappy little claws. With some practice the skilled Grupo Mayan diver can quickly latch onto the lobster from behind its claws and in one scope lift him up carefully tail first place him into the lobster bag. Since lobsters tend to always in reverse, it is important to put them into the bags tail first. This way they swim into the lobster bag as opposed to swimming out.

Since the lobsters possess a nocturnal type nature many of the most successful Grupo Mayan dives usually in completed in the dark of night. Since we are already aware that the creatures reside in shipwrecks then certification in cavern diving, night diving and diving in shipwreck certification would possibly be a recommendation prior to engaging in these fun and interesting lobster dives.
