Measure the tail width in a straight line between the tips of the two large (primary) spines on the second segment of the tail. If you are unsure of the sex, use the 60mm measurement.
Measure the tail length along the underside in a straight line from the rear of the calcified bar on the first segment to the tip of the middle fan of the tail. Must have a tail length of at least 216mm (male and female).
There are rules and protections for gathering rock lobster/crayfish that cover: protected types, gathering methods, pot construction and use.
From Te Arai Point, Auckland to Cape Runaway telson clipping is required for all recreationally harvested spiny rock lobsters. The last third of the telson (central part of the tail fan) must be cut off so that it is noticeably shorter than the other sections of the tail fan. This must be done to all legal spiny rock lobsters as soon as they are taken.

If you are a certified diver and haven't been in the water for some time, it is advisable to do a Scuba Review Session before getting back in the water.
Depending on how long it has been and what experience you had before the break, you may need a Review Session after as little as six months. If it has been more than five years since you have dived, you should probably re-sit the open water course again, but it depends again, on your experience levels.
These sessions are run in the pool only and we run over everything from equipment assembly and pre-dive safety checks, to buoyancy and out of air procedures. Also with plenty of time to swim around this will make you a lot more comfortable on your first dive back in the ocean!
This is for a private Scuba Review for when you wish (as long as an Instructor is available). We will work with you to shcedule a time that suits. This will typically run for 1.5 - 2.5 hours.
It costs $150pp for a private Scuba Review Session.
The only prerequisite is that you must have proof of your certification and complete a medical questionaire. Dive Centre Ltd New Diver Medical Questionnaire
Everyone doing a dive course needs to complete a medical questionaire and we recommend doing that before booking onto the course.
When completing the medical questionaire, if the answer is no to all questions on page 1, you can just sign it and it’s done. (Unless the diver is less than 18 years old in which case a parent/guardian must sign as well).
If the answer is yes to any of the page 1 questions it guides you which sections to fill out on page 2 and you must get your normal Doctor (GP) to sign it off on page 3.
This medical is scuba diving specific and must be completed less than 12 months before starting your course.
The form that is used is available from our main store, or you can download it here in pdf format. Dive Centre Ltd New Diver Medical Questionnaire
If for any reason you fail the Medical, you will be refunded any course fees paid to us, as long as your PADI crew pack is undamaged, complete and you haven't written in the manual.
There is a list of Diving Doctors on the "Introduction page".
