Dive Shops and Locations to Hunt Lionfish
If you are interested in learning how to become a Certified Lionfish Hunter or just helping with this environmental cause by diving, snorkeling, spearing, netting, or any other way of removing Lionfish from the Ocean, please email me, Roger J. Muller, Jr., at roger@mullerinsurance.com. Below is my list of places to dive for Lionfish and become a Certified Lionfish Spearer-Hunter and includes my friends who are fellow instructors and/or dive shops in the different countries.
