Nice shot. Stoned right through the mouth. Let's everyone start posting dead ones. Scubaboard can maybe sponsor a contest and the one in Cozumel or Belize who has the most confirmed kills gets a prize.
I'm free diving more than scuba diving now and I use a big gun with a double flopper head. It's going to be a little tricky getting them off that spear...but it's doable. Slide the fish all the way up the shaft, screw off the head and slide it back down and off. But one slip....ouch.
But I agree that it's not advisable for all vacation divers to attempt this. Just the dive master....going along and "pulling crab grass off the lawn" kind of thing. Done every day, by every divemaster should have an effect.
Yeah, I'm not getting a lot of traction on the "let every diver kill 'em" suggestion. You do have to be careful but it's not difficult or dangerous if you use a little common sense. I just don't think that when they start to establish themselves in earnest that it's going work as an extra duty for DMs. Guess the park will have to find out for themselves how to deal with them. Betcha a Corona they eventually do enlist teams of some sort to do it, tho.
