Lobsters used to live in abundance in Hong Kong. Due to over fishing and environment destruction these beautiful creatures have suffered a massive decline in and around Hong Kong waters. However they can still be found and are seemingly making a little comeback.

They are hide to find not because they are well camouflaged but because their numbers are so small. The tell tale sign of lobsters are their very long antennas that span a couple of metres.

Here is a lobster we found at Nine Pin Islands. Notice the long antennas on approach. Lobsters in my experience do not shy away from being found and are great for providing good photos.

One of the best dive site to find lobsters is the East Dam in the East of Sai Kung Country Park. The environment with the huge rocks is a great habitat for these animals. Here are some shots of Lobsters during a dive in the East Dam.

On a very recent dive at Pak Lap we also spotted a Lobster. You can see it in the following video,
