How can you blame PADI for this?  This is a function of our wonderful health
care system and/or idiots who engage in risk sports and have no insurance.

If anything, you'd have to give PADI credit for training divers well
enough to avoid NEEDING the hyperbaric chamber.

Interesting that the article ends with "The mini-lobster diving season
starts July."

I still can't understand it.  Why do you guys bother diving for mini-
lobsters?  Heck, they can't have much more meat than a groundhog.

When I was over at Jackson Blue recently, I noticed some crawfish
swimming around... Definitely would classify as "mini-lobsters"... Not
enough of them to bother catching an inviting back home for a hot tub
party though... It would be neat to have water as clear as Jackson
Blue and have the number of crawfish that you find in the muddy waters
of Louisiana... Maybe not as efficient as traditional methods of
catching crawfish, but it would be a good excuse to go diving...

I spent the 5th and 7th snorkeling for bay scallops. On the average, there's
about as much meat on one of them as on your average mud bug and, to add
insult to injury, the limit is low, 2 gallons in the shell or one pint of
meat out of the shell per person per day. We limited out both days. We're
planning on combining one of our two quarts of meat with fish from last
year's spearfishing trip, for a fish fry with friends. My annual
spearfishing trip is coming up next month and I'll need the space for the
fish and lobster I'll bring back.
