Florida Lobster Diver Finds Cocaine Instead Of Dinner
A Florida lobster diver looking for lobster approximately one mile offshore of Tavernier on the oceanside, found a package of suspected cocaine instead of a delicious dinner. The discovery was made just after 2pm, and rather than hit the clubs, the diver turned the package over to authorities. The Monroe County Sheriff then turned the package over to the U.S. Border Patrol.

Florida Lobster Mini Season
The suspected bag of cocaine was found during the Florida lobster mini-season, 2 days that allow residents and visitors to catch spiny lobsters. The season happened this past Wednesday and Thursday and the kilo of nose candy wasn’t the only thing the sheriffs had to deal with on Wednesday.
• An adult male diving for lobster near the Boca Chica Bridge in the Lower Keys was reportedly struck by a boat propeller and flown to a Miami hospital via Trauma Star at approximately 8:09 a.m. Wednesday. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is the investigating agency.
• The were no reported injuries after the Sheriff’s Office rescued four people from a vessel that was taking on water near Mile Marker 39 on the oceanside at approximately 11:33 a.m. Wednesday. The U.S. Coast Guard and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission were notified.
They have their dive flag up and they were smart enough to be wearing life jackets. Probably participating in the Florida lobster mini-season. Not sure what went wrong, here.

So – Why Does The Cocaine Say ‘Bunny’ On It?
We’ve seen many a square grouper wash up along the Florida coast and it’s actually quite common for there to be a logo or other kind of marking on it. Think of it like a brand name. It’s actually quite likely that there’s a lot more ‘Bunny’ bundles down on the ocean floor, when authorities approach a smuggler’s boat, they throw the drugs overboard. This is why our sharks are all on cocaine. For real…. look it up.
