The trip was good. A little pricey for diving, but its on Long Island Bahamas, away from the hustle-bustle & low key.
Private guide because everyone else bailed due to storm clouds on the horizon (its the Caribbean!) We did two days of diving, shallow in about 45' max depth around the coral heads. Plenty of swim thrus and all sorts of soft coral and sponges. Here is a video of the lionfish after being speared:  Bahamas Shark Eating Speared Lionfish |

I always wonder if, when something eats a dead Lionfish, if they end up dead later.
I've fed one to a Moray eel and a reef shark. I was able to clip the spines off one of them before feeding it to a shark. |

I imagine they get a tingly numb feeling but doesn't kill 'em. ~Will |

Stella Maris resort? Stella Maris was cheaper, but I think they also had a mandatory minimum for bookings. |

I saw five lion in Bonaire recently. One of the DM said there was many more but they headed deep in the channel during the day and came up at night. Don’t know for sure. We reported the sightings to a lion hunter.

Sometimes, they get used to being fed. Even a cute nurse shark can do damage, as seen here

Quote HistoryALL SHARKS are competitive when it comes to food.
I will never engage in this behavior again though! It teaches the shark bad hunting practices and endangers divers. Now I know, and the dive guide knows too!! ~Will |

I may be wrong op but I believe it is highly illegal to spearfish with tanks in the Bahamas. Free dive spear fishing is legal.
