I just did a early morning lobster dive to day in 18 feet of water and saw 3 of them near Miami. I have gotten a total of 36 this year though most of my diving is over 100 feet.
36? That's not a lot really unless you aren't diving too much. There must be a lot of hunting pressure where you are diving?
The majority of the spots I hit result in a full zookeeper...I can only fit 10-12 in the tube and usually fill it within the first 10 minutes of a dive. We need more hunters in NC.
You do need more divers, I want to visit, have not had the chance yet. Perhaps when I get back to the US
We have plenty of divers....but most want to shoot photos of the sharks. They could care less about the lionfish.

I do both - when I was in Hatteras at the end of last month I had my short pole spear and my cameras (Olympus and mask-mounted GoPro). No lionfish sighted on either the Dixie Arrow or the Keshena - and believe me, I was looking.
