Hi guys,
I'm both a new member here and I'm new to diving. In fact, I'm still earning my certification. My friend, however, is a PADI certified OW/Nitrox diver. While I wait to finish my classes, I thought he and I could try our hands at lionfish hunting (we both have FL SW fishing licenses).
Do you know of any areas that fit these criteria?
I know it's an odd set of requirements, but between the various regulations that prohibit spearfishing and the depths and locations of many popular dive sites, I'm coming up empty handed; but I figured you guys would know best. Thanks!

Do you know of any areas that fit these criteria?
- In Broward, WPB, Dade or the upper keys.
- Accessible to both Scuba and freedivers (preferably from shore).
- Spearfishing is legal there, at least in the context of taking lionfish.
- Lionfish have been found there.
