I'm curious as i've only ever dived st Lucia in this part in the world. this was my first diving trip abroad and was the reason i did my padi open water, but i didn't understand the lionfish issue and to be honest don't recall seeing many lionfish. but i ask, as i see there are events such as the derby to catch lionfish etc. should every dive require (not by law but as good practice) you to remove a lionfish if seen? i would liken it to my philosophy of removing plastic bags from the sea on a dive. could it or in fact, should it become just one of things that you don't even think about doing, it's just done?
i'm not saying all divers should as it may lead to accidents with people who are relatively new to diving. But as soon as you are capable, should you?
