Yesterday, while diving Palancar Gardens I cam across a group of divers (about 6-8) and one of them was carrying a Long handled "neck-snare". Also called a "dog-stick" and occasionally a "turtle-snare" or "tickle-stick". This consists of a long, hollow stick about 3' long, with a cord (sometimes rubber or nylon) that runs through creating a noose at one end.
The only use I am aware of is catching turtles or (on land) dogs by the neck, but I have heard that they are used for lobster as well (though not sure how / why).
Anyone know a possible reason why this person would be carrying one of these in the Marine Park?
