Lion fish hunting Tec diving expeditions


The lion fish invading species represent a threat for the local environment in the Caribbean Sea. As the local divers start hunting them down, they find shelter in deeper waters beyond reach of recreational divers.
As part of the mission for Tec dives during their training, Tec students can go to densely populated sea mounds and deep dive sites to practice their skill with the spear against these non-invited predators making their contribution to restore the balance in the local ecosystem.
In this picture: Tec students in their Tec 45 graduation dive hunting and bagging a lion fish.
