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.


Real Feedback from Florida Divers

Whether you're diving off the coast of Palm City or heading down to Marathon Key, Florida divers continue to praise the Lobster Inn Bag for its performance and reliability.

What divers are saying:

“I’ve used every type of bag over the years, and nothing keeps my catch in place like this.”

“Love how easy it is to use with gloves. Total game changer.”
— Marcus R., Jupiter


Who Should Use the Lobster Inn Bag?

This bag isn’t just for professionals — it's for anyone who wants better performance and peace of mind underwater.

It’s ideal for:

  • Recreational scuba divers

  • Snorkelers during Mini-Season

  • Spearfishers targeting mixed species

  • Charter dive captains outfitting their clients

  • Any diver tired of losing their catch

Whether you're chasing lobsters in 10 feet or 50 feet of water, this is the bag that works.


Frequently Asked Questions

Is the one-way flap hard to use?

Not at all. It’s designed to allow quick entry using just one hand — even with gloves. Once the lobster is inside, the flap prevents it from exiting, even if the bag is jostled or opened.

Can the bag hold my full daily limit?

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.

Is it legal to use in Florida?

Yes. The Lobster Inn Bag meets all Florida legal requirements for recreational lobster diving gear. Always be sure to pair it with your license and lobster permit.
