Rumor has it that the venom is much more effective than Botox................could be a nice cottage industry.

Sunshine - I did see that. I asked him if he booked it yet and he hasn't but said airfare has actually gone down even more. Should be soon though!

It is inevitable that lionfish are going to descend onto the ABC islands. They are already being spotted in Roatan and the Cayman islands. Just a year ago they were a non issue in Cozumel, now simply spotting one is common. Hopefully the other destinations will be more aggressive in controlling them -that is if they can even be controlled.
The Bahamas are a great place to dive if you want to see sharks, other than that, there is not much to see in the way of Carribean fish. The Lionfish have wiped out a majority of them. Hopeully Cozumel will take more aggressive measures. Once a lionfish claims its territory around a coral head, it takes 5 weeks for them to wipe out all fish which reside on the same coral head. Hopefully the ABC's will be more proactive when the first one is spotted.
