    Diver Hunting for Lionfish in the Caribbean Attacked by Shark [Video]

    http://blog.aquanerd.com/2014/03/div...ark-video.html


    "After this close encounter with one of the Caribbean’s apex predators, we’re thinking Jason Dimitri had more than just water in his wetsuit. Captured with a GoPro camera, Jason went for a casual dive in the Cayman Islands to kill lionfish when he was attacked by a Caribbean reef shark. He was diving in about 70 feet of water, looking under corals for the invasive lionfish, which he was spearing and placing into a large jug-like container. When peaking under one coral for his next victim, the shark rapidly approached and gave Jason quite the scare. You can almost make out the garbled “explitive” that he screamed when he realized the shark was right there on him. The diver managed to get away without actually getting bit."

    I keep water, last checked about 600 gallons worth.
    Problem is animals keep using it as there water closet.
    Worst of all the littlest ones keep using up all the supplies.

    What happens when you spear a fish???? It bleeds right? What is the biggest attraction to any predator??? DUH! Lets spear a couple fish under water and swim around like a human lure.DUH!.....I love diving but I'll catch my fish while I am out of the water.
    Thank you.
    As with most clubs:
    There are always a few people willing to do all the work and a bunch willing to let them....
    No trick to be part of the clique...Simply get involved...Every little bit helps
    If only in the clean up after the meeting.
