The first confirmed sighting and capture of a Pacific lionfish in the Florida Keys happened last week on a deep reef at the Benwood Ledge, off Key Largo.
The primary concern, say experts, is that lionfish breed rapidly and eat just about anything. That could upset the ecological balance at the Keys reef, and reduce the numbers of food fish and popular reef fish.

Lionfish apparently have no natural predators in the Atlantic Ocean.

"We have a response plan to control them if possible," said Dave Score, the Keys sanctuary superintendent. "We believe we have the opportunity because of the large number of divers in the Keys. They can be part of the solution."

One suggestion: Find a cooking recipe for lionfish, like the blackened-redfish craze that nearly depleted the redfish stock.

Anyone seeing a lionfish should report it immediately, but do not attempt to capture it. Call REEF at 852-0030 or the Mote MEERA project at 395-8730.

Like to spend years in the Keys? We have one spot left on our News Years Trip. The trip is Dec 28 through Jan 2 departing from Key Largo Florida. If you are interested give me a call at 561-385-2385

NAUI Underwater Archaeology Course
This NAUI course provides you with a fundamental introduction into underwater archaeology work. One of the main themes through this program is to document and assess the archaeological site without damaging the site or adjacent marine environment.
We will utilize Spanish Galleon shipwrecks, located in the Florida Keys, to educate you on the fundamentals of assessing and documenting historical archaeology sites. We may use shipwrecks such as the El Infante, San Jose, and El Capitan.
The price of this weekend course is only $688.00 after tax, all inclusive and provides the following:
All meals, snacks, iced tea or lemonade, live aboard accommodation, dive tanks (aluminum 80's 3000PSI), air fills, weights and belts, course materials and Certification fee.

Prerequisite: Open Water Certified Scuba Diver

Well just got home from the Bahamas. I was over there working on the Gulf Stream Eagle. We had the mythbuster crew filming their show for Shark Week. It was a blast working with Adam and Jamie.
