The dive charter AquaHunter is a 6-pack hunting boat in Lake Park marina with Capt Todd in WPB. Although they don't get the number of 'mentions' here that the other charters do, it's with good reason. They are almost always FULL and it's tough to get on!!. It's an advanced diver boat mostly for hunting, but they do photography & specialty trips too. They also recently have expanded and are part of the new dive shop Neptune's Scuba Academy Dive Shop . It's located right next to Florida Freedivers & Lott's Marina on Northlake Blvd.
We went south out of the inlet to some triple digit bottom. Calm seas with leeward winds, 80° on the bottom 1knt SOUTH current and top to bottom 80 ft of visibility.
I don't catch many of these,,, but in the picture below is a big slipper lobster compared with the normal Florida spiny lobster. They don't move during the daytime and just look like a small rock near the ledge. But the outline of the curved ears makes it easier to spot since divers hunt by shape and not by color underwater. In side by side, Blind Taste test sampling, many people say they taste flaky'er & better than spiny lobsters without being told prior which is which.
Many thanks to Capt Todd Bailey for the excellent trip today!!
