How does a lobster adapt to the sea or deep water?

Actually thats a question of the evolution. A fish that lives near by the sea can say "aw, I don't want to stay here, I go to the deep sea". Just because of factors like the sunlight or something like that they coulnd't live there. They adapt during many generation, and adapt slowly to the new circumstances.

Lobsters are born from eggs.

"For most females, the eggs will be laid the year after mating. The eggs are fertilized outside the female when the eggs are laid. After they're laid, the eggs remain attached under the tail, on the pleopods, by a kind of sticky substance. The female then keeps her tail folded up under her and carries her eggs for almost a year (between 9 and 12 months). Therefore, females mate approximately once every two years. A female can lay a few thousand eggs when she is young and several tens of thousands of eggs when she is older."
