Richie, those are some very sweet bugs you got there!!!! Alright, I'll conceide the point that the whole lobstering thing is one legitimate reason to dive in the Northeast:
however, how many lobster has John caught in those quarries lately???
Whoa, whoa, whoa - now you've hit upon a sensitive topic
(to some of us filthy Northeasterners) that needs clarification!
Some of us hardier souls dive the frigid quarries during the off-season because that's our only option for keeping the skills sharp; and we don't like being out of the water for months at a time. Once the boats are running and the weather permits, we're out in the ocean as much as possible; or of course we travel and do the easy diving down south.
And as far as lobsters go, some of us will push a good size bug out of the way if he happens to be sitting on a nice shiny thing ...
I'm definitely looking forward to the deep-fried baby manatee, though - what do you recommend as far as dipping sauces??
