"The Wetter The Better" save lionfish from death

[Cave Diver]

Yep. The embedded video is obviously fake as well because it shows divers catching them in nets and plastic bags. No way a fish this crafty could be caught so easily.

My guess is after the camera was turned off the superfish known as a lionfish overpowered both the diver that caught it and the cameraman and devoured them both leaving only the videotape of it appearing docile and in captivity. These fish are far more intellegent than we ever imagined. Is it even safe to enter the water anymore?

Ohhh. I consider anything in a bp/w or doubles to be tech. The October trip is a ScubaBoard gathering at Vortex Springs, Florida. Lots of diving at Vortex and the surrounding area along with lots of social interaction and great food, including grilled lionfish. More info on that is here:

Looks to be a big party with folks from the gulf coast states. Hmmmmmmm. And likely with LIONFISH on the
BAR-BEE.

You'd never be able to keep up, lionfish have been clocked swimming over 500 miles per hour AND they can shoot lasers out of their eyes.

Well, in that rogue video they did refer to them as ALIEN INVADERS.
