To hoop net or dive for lobster, all you need is a fishing license :) I assume that's what you are wanting to do. The commercial guys who set traps have to get a commercial license.

thas sweet, all i need is a fishn license, that works,

Don't forget to familiarize yourself with DFG regulations when going for lobster. Here are most of the important ones:

Section 700(Title 14) License Provisions: Anyone 16 years and older must have a fishing license to take any kind of fish,mollusk,invertebrate,amphibian or crustacean in California, except for persons angling from a public pier.
29.90(a) Open season: From the Saturday preceding the first Wednesday in October through the first Wednesday after the 15th of March
29.90(b) Limit: Seven
29.90(c) Minimum size: Three and one-fourth inches measured in a straight line on the mid-line of the back from the rear edge of the eye socket to the rear edge of the body shell. Any lobster may be brought to the surface of the water for the purpose of measuring, but no undersize lobster may be brought aboard any boat, placed in any type of receiver, kept on the person or retained in any person's possession or under his direct control; all lobsters shall be measured immediately upon being brought to the surface of the water, and any undersize lobster shall be released immediately into the water.
29.80(b) Baited hoop nets may be used to take spiny lobsters and all species of crabs. Between Point Arguello, Santa Barbara County, and the United States-Mexico border, not more than five baited hoop nets may be fished by a person to take spiny lobster and crab, not to exceed a total of 10 baited hoop nets fished from any vessel.
29.05(c) Measuring Devices: Every person while taking invertebrates which have a size limit shall carry a device (aka: a lobster gauge) capable of accurately measuring the size of the species taken.
