Crays are definately hard to find during the day, but that's what it's all about! I've spoken to a lot of guys who go diving for crays for the first time, and wonder why they didn't see any. A quick chat usually reveals that they've just been swimming along the surface expecting to see crays in easy to reach spots. 99% of crays are not visible from the surface, even in shallow water. You need to dive down and look under rocks, and under the kelp to find the ledges, that is where the crays will be. I've been diving at sunset a few times, and the crays were well hidden. Cray diving, expecially on snorkel, is hard work, so if you feel knackered after doing it, then you're probably doing it right! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/xyxthumbs.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
