Hamanasi's Lionfish Spearfishing Adventure offers scuba divers the chance to spear this invasive species. Belize is supportive of efforts to rid its waters of this voracious eater. Prior to diving there will be a briefing describing the Lionfish, a scientific explanation of the threat the fish poses in the Caribbean and why hunting the species is ecologically sound. On the first dive the Divemaster will point out the Lionfish, its habitat and demonstrate how to spear and bag the fish. During the surface interval, the divers learn how to clean the fish.

If the Divemaster determines that the diver has adequate dive skills, including buoyancy control, the guest may test his skills at spear fishing during the second dive under the supervision of the Divemaster.  All Lionfish caught will be recorded to track progress in controlling the population, and will be prepared fresh in the Hamanasi kitchen. Enjoy the results of your labor at the dinner table that night!
