About Lobster No Lobster

Lobster No Lobster is a shallow boat dive in the northern Exuma Cays, where scattered coral heads and bommies hold plenty of life. The site is known for lobsters, plus sharks, rays, turtles, stingrays, and schools of reef fish, and it is best when the boat team can time the entry around slack tide. It is a relaxed, buoyancy-friendly dive rather than a dramatic current ride.

Local Intel For Lobster No Lobster

Community notes to help plan your visit.

Scuba Diving

Easy shallow reef diving around coral heads, with the best dives usually happening when the tide is slack and the boat crew can keep the rhythm simple.

Freediving

Freediving is possible only in the shallowest water on calm days, but tide timing still matters and it is not a freedive specialty site.

Snorkeling

Guided snorkeling can work on calm slack-tide days because the reef is shallow, but the site is mainly known as a scuba stop.
