Do you also offer to tip more if they're willing to paw the marine life and put on a show for your entertainment? Grab a turtle or two... force a puffer or burfish to blow up?I too like the lionfish and had forewarned our DMs that if we found any, that they were not to report them as I didnt want that. They all agreed. The power of green. Gotta love it.
Do you know if the park authorities are doing any follow-up to regularly remind/enforce the protocol with DMs and shop management? With the examples noted by Alohagal and psycho, I'm wondering what, if any, consequences or repercussions there could be for these DMs and the shops they work for if they are choosing to not follow "the rules."Fanatic - once again you are uninformed and only coming here to trash Cozumel as you did after Wilma, which was 4 years ago ... And it's been over 3 years since your last trip by your own admission. FYI.... There IS a protocol for DM's to report and capture ALL lionfish.
