Lobster "mini" season runs July 25-26, 2012 and the regular season is August 6, 2012 through March 31, 2013, but the summer months are when everyone gets serious about "bug hunting." Diving Key West is always an exciting and novel good time. Doing so during prime lobster season is an unforgettable experience.

There are several very important things to keep in mind if you dive for lobsters in Key West's waters. For Lobster Season dates, bag limits and more, please visit the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission's Lobster Season web page.
