30 pound lobster in Nova Scotia?

[Sea Flat]

Years ago I was scuba diving at the Pendleton wreck and one of the guys got a 17 lb. lobster. It broke his finger. When he was getting it it grabbed a hold of his finger and when he ripped his hand away the claw came with it. Then he was able to get the rest of the lobster. It looked so huge underwater I never would have even tried to grab it.

That's a ballsy move to attempt to snatch that thing.

Is that a fun dive? How deep is the wreck?

Yes, it was a pretty fun dive. I did it in the late 90's. There was not much left of it, but there was a lot of life down there. It certainly is not like diving in the south, but for up here it was a fun dive. I want to say it was 60-80 ft. of water max.
