The Caribbean spiny lobster waves its long antennae from under ledges across the reef.
How to recognize it
No big claws, but two very long, spiny antennae poking out from a hole, and a spotted tail.
Where and when to see it
In Isla Fuerte divers regularly spot it at El museo, Bajo humedo, Bajo alicia, Socorro. Explore every site on our interactive dive map.
Dive with respect
We practice good buoyancy and never touch or chase marine life. Watching an animal behave naturally is the whole point, and it keeps the reef of Isla Fuerte alive for the next diver.
