Seasonal Spiny Lobster Diving Tour

Join us for a spiny lobster diving tour in San Diego with a Certified Guide.

Your 2025-2026 Spiny Lobster Season is from Friday September 26, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. and run through Wednesday March 20, 2026 at 11:59:59 p.m.

You can catch up to 7 spiny lobsters per day according to California Spiny Lobster Hunting Regulations. We will show you where the California spiny lobsters congregate and the best time of day to catch them. You will need a fishing license, (either a one day or an annual license), as well as a lobster report card which can be purchased at any sporting store. Scuba adventures last approximately 2 hours for a 1 tank tour, and 4 hours for a two tank tour. Monday thru Sunday Spiny Lobster tours begin about 2 hours before morning twilight (dawn) since that is when the spiny lobsters are out in the open, feeding. All gear is included. Gear includes head to toe scuba gear, dive bag, lobster gauge, and a flashlight.

Special Note: Although we have always had success catching spiny lobsters with and for our customers, there are no guarantees that you will catch spiny lobsters due to their capricious nature in moving to different locations, and their decreasing population over the spiny lobster season period.

The cost of the Spiny Lobster Diving Tour is only $180.00 per person for a one tank lobster dive, and $250.00 per person for a two tank dive. (All or partial Scuba Gear will be included at NO EXTRA CHARGE if needed by the customer).

Monday thru Sunday Spiny Lobster tours begin about 2 hours before morning twilight (dawn) since that is when the lobsters are out in the open feeding.
