It's a great time to dive.... as you are often in the water for the "shift change".
The nocturnal hunters are headed for home and their hidey hole.... while the day shift is coming awake and getting active.
I have always imagined that this Crab was on his way back into the hole that he calls home.... after a productive night of hunting.
This particular type of crab, is known by many names Channel Clinging Crab, King Crab and Stone Crab.
When I check my usual sources for factoids about this creature.... I find more is written about it's role as restaurant delicacy than it's life underwater.
