Why the Lobster Inn Bag Is a Must-Have for Every Diver
Discover what makes the Lobster Inn Bag a game-changer for lobster divers. Built for durability, safety, and secure catch retention in Florida waters.

When it comes to lobster diving, few pieces of gear are more critical than your catch bag. But not all bags are created equal. If you’ve lost lobster during a dive, struggled with jammed zippers, or watched your catch escape while fumbling with a closure — you’re not alone.
That’s exactly why the Lobster Inn Bag from [Keystone Dive Products – https://www.keystonediveproducts.com] has become a go-to for serious divers. Designed by divers, for divers, this patented bag features a one-way flap system that protects your catch and simplifies your dive.
In this article, we’ll break down exactly why the Lobster Inn Bag is considered essential gear for both recreational and professional lobster hunters.
The Problem with Traditional Lobster Catch Bags
Many divers don’t realize how much catch bags affect the success of a dive — until something goes wrong.
Common issues with standard bags:
- Lobsters escape while inserting new ones
- Zippers jam or rust after a few dives
- Velcro wears out, leaving the bag vulnerable
- Difficult to open and close with one hand
- Catch lost due to unsecured or torn bags
In high-pressure environments — like Florida’s Mini-Season — you don’t have time to fight with your gear.
What Makes the Lobster Inn Bag Different?
The Lobster Inn Bag eliminates all of the pain points associated with traditional catch bags. It’s engineered specifically for divers who value security, efficiency, and durability.
1. Patented One-Way Flap Entry
The bag’s standout feature is the one-way flap system. Instead of zippers or drawstrings, divers push their catch through a flexible flap that prevents escape, even if the bag is opened later.
Benefits:
- Insert catch quickly with one hand
- No need to open or close zippers underwater
- No risk of lobsters backing out
- Ideal for fast-moving or deeper dives
The design works seamlessly with gloves and in low-visibility conditions — when seconds count.
2. Built to Withstand Florida Waters
Florida divers face unique challenges — from sharp reefs to strong surf. Keystone’s Lobster Inn Bag is crafted using:
- Marine-grade mesh resistant to abrasion
- Reinforced seams that stand up to pressure
- UV-resistant materials for long-term use
- Non-corrosive fasteners ideal for saltwater conditions
It’s gear that holds up dive after dive, season after season.
3. Streamlined and Diver-Friendly Design
Every detail of the Lobster Inn Bag is designed with functionality in mind.
- Low-drag shape that won’t interfere with swimming
- Attachment clips and loops to secure it to your BC or float
- Bright color options for high visibility
- Flexible capacity to accommodate your full daily catch
It’s not bulky or complicated — it’s just smart, reliable, and ready to go when you are.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The standard Lobster Inn Bag is sized to accommodate up to 6 lobsters, which matches Florida’s daily recreational limit in most regions.
How do I clean and store the bag?
After diving, simply rinse the bag with freshwater and allow it to dry completely. The mesh design promotes fast drainage and drying.
