About Your Trip

Lionfish are an invasive fish, originally from the Indo-Pacific, that have been introduced to the Florida Keys and Caribbean islands. These fish have no natural predators, reproduce quickly, and are decimating our native fish populations. The most productive way to eradicate these invasive fish is by spearfishing!

The whole crew here is awesome. They were personable, great teachers, patient, and allowed us to dive and fish on the same day without any interruption. Would love to go with them again!

We had amazing weather and an even better captain. We enjoyed fishing and the overall experience. Captain Chet was friendly, entertaining and knew his stuff. We enjoyed every minute and was sad when the day was over. Definitely a must do. Captain Chet was the best!!
