Lobster Diver Sucked Into Power Plant Pipe

A scuba diver on a nighttime search for lobsters was sucked into a power plant’s seawater intake pipe and trapped in a catch basin for two hours.

As John Vincent was stuck against the grate-covered catch basin Friday night, he drew the attention of plant workers by banging his weight belt on a valve and waving his dive light, said Sheriff’s Deputy Guy Van Sickle.

When Vincent was finally pulled out by firefighters, he had two lobsters in his hands.
