nice shots. where exactly is St. Abbs Head? your common lobster shot is the same species as i would catch off my coast. although, it looks as though its a blue lobster, maybe not so common after all. gary

Hi Nigel,
Would love to see a squat lobster. What water temps are you dealing with in Scottland?

Hi Chowe,
Sea Temp at this time of year is 13/14c that's as warm as it gets. Will be down to about 8/9c in March, April time.
Have added another photos of squat lobster for you along with some lions mane jelly fish and a sea squirt.

Thanks Nigel,
This is about the same temps we have in N. California. Which is also why I haven't dove here in many years. Are you in a drysuit?

Hi Craig,
Yes dry suit all the year round. Just change the undersuit for winter. More thermal protection. And 5mm gloves as oppose to 3mm.
