Meet the Lionfish:
Although this fish is incredibly beautiful with unique body patterns and large ostentatious fins, it is also invasive here in the Caribbean.
Luckily the dive professionals on Curaçao, such as @lionfishcaribbean, have worked super hard over the past years to try to control the invasion through creative outlets of selling jewelry and delicious bites.
If you ever get the chance, it’s always great to #supportthelocals and #savethereef by enjoying a delectable lionfish treat!

Nothing better than ending a dive surrounded by a school of Palometas (also known as Banner Pompano)!

Watch as this school of Bigeye Trevallys prey upon a massive school of Masbangu, otherwise known as Horse Mackeral.
This school of fish was so big, they could fully encompass a diver in its midst, leaving us unable to see anything or anyone beyond their wall.
Witnessing these walls of fish, also known as baitballs, is a lucky occurrence here in Curaçao. @nadiawildlife and I were fortunate enough to get to see not only the baitball itself, but also the large group of marine predators preying upon the smaller fish, which was an incredible sensation!
