After our bad drop on Princess Anne, we opted for a reef dive to finish off our tanks. Matt and I had around 2900 lbs and Gina had 2400, but she rocked it and surfaced with more air than us.
The current was ripping. Matt was looking for lionfish and I was hunting lobster.
Right at the end of the dive we found a lobster. It had itself wedged upside down in a hole, so I just reached in, dug it out, and pulled it out by hand. Also found a small on this dive in the middle of the dive. No lionfish to be found, though Matt said he saw a very small one.
Saw a large green moray and not much else. Matt saw a turtle, but I did not.
When catching the lobster, Matt saw it seconds before me and when we dropped in on it in the strong current, he turned around behind me. His spear caught in the sand and he stabbed my foot with the spear. Hit my left index toe right on the joint.
I had 1200 lbs before going for the lobster and we surfaced immediately after catching it. I got to the surface with 500 lbs. I used a lot of air catching that lobster.
