I was so excited about this I decided to make a blog.

So, I woke up at 5:00 AM today because my dad was bringing me with my aunt and his friend on his boat to go scuba diving for lobsters, to cook on my mom's birthday (the 12th).

My whole family was raised in the Carribean, so they know how to fish and stuff. Heck, my dad works with boats and oceans. :P

So, we drove to a small Miami port, unloaded the boat, and then we went about two miles from the private beaches of the fancy beachside apartments (my dad works on some of them). The water was crazy smooth and clear, and there was no current. The water was warm and it was sunny and hot.

We saw a lot of lionfish adults and babies and we killed all of them with a spear. :( They're illegal animals (not suppose to be here in Florida) and they're killing off all the animals, and they're overpopulated.

I saw a nurseshark and jellyfish! I even got stung by a couple and fire coral! But it's all in a day's work. :D After a while it didn't even hurt that much.

In the end...

We caught 27 large lobsters and speared two delicious hog snappers.

Yummy!

Peace out,
