    Invasive Lionfish in the UK?

    Would anybody have any good suggestions for homemade lionfish containment units? We previously made them out of PVC pipe, but pipe larger than 4.25" is difficult to get here (it's a very small island), and it doesn't take many lionfish to fill one of these. Any suggestions/first-hand experience...

    Hello from Carriacou!

    Thank you for your kind welcome! Carriacou is a lovely little island that has very much become home for me over the last 10 years. It has some very nice reefs and is a great place to spend a few days (or longer!). I have written a brief article about the island, which I hope will be useful...

    Hello from Carriacou!

    Grenada has very nice wreck diving, Carriacou has the reefs... If you can take the time, it's really worth coming for a two-island visit. English is the main language. Grenada is a lot more touristy than Carriacou, but even there, when you stay away from the resorts and go exploring, you will...

    Info Beginners Guide To BP/W

    This thread is wonderful - so much information! I moved to a lovely minimalist BP&W around 7 years ago, and it's the best thing I ever did in diving. I still remember taking it into the water for the first time - it felt like diving naked 😊 No clutter, no unnecessary weight, and oh so...

    Invasive Lionfish in the UK?

    Here in Carriacou (in the West Indies) we have seen a massive growth in lionfish numbers in recent years. Literally from one or two on every other dive to up to 10 or 15, hence the reason why I have such an interest in them! We started our invasive lionfish containment project around 7 years ago...

    Hello from Carriacou!

    Thank you for the lovely welcome! I will do a proper write-up about Carriacou sometime soon. We've been here for 10 years now and absolutely love the island. It's not glitzy and is somewhat off the beaten track (not a shopping mall in sight!), but it's safe, clean, and friendly, and the diving...

    Invasive Lionfish in the UK?

    Has anybody here seen the news about the lionfish caught off the Dorset coast in the UK? A friend sent me a link to a funny article in The Sun - apparently, it is a genuine catch though. My thoughts are that it must be one that has been set free from somebody's fish tank perhaps - at the end of...

    Hello from Carriacou!

    Hi everyone! My name is Alex. I have just completed signing up here on Scubaboard after being an avid reader for years. Things are very quiet here on our small island of Carriacou at the moment, due to travel restrictions, so it's so good to have an opportunity to talk to scuba divers from all...
