Hungry Shark take lionfish from divers spear.

I do not eat sea food of spear any type of fish apart from lionfish (hawian sling) here in the Bahamas where they are an invasive species. I sometimes have 20 sharks following me around patiently waiting. I have probably done 1000 dives with these particular sharks before getting this relationship ship with them. Please don't try this yourself.

You will notice the shark takes a couple of attempts to bite it. They have learned to bite in in such a way that they don't get pricked by the spines. A lot of people think that this teaches the sharks to associate divers with food. It doesn't. I can scuba divel free dive and snorkel with them and they just don't care about me, but if enter the water with a SPEAR they instantly recognize the OBJECT. So they associate the object with the food not the diver. Sharks are far more intelligent than we give them credit for. People think that lion fish harm the sharks, they do not. Lionfish are venomous NOT polsonous. The sharks seem impervious to the digested venom. Never have I injured a single shark. I spend a lot of time helping them and removing fishing line from thier mouth and would never do anything to hurt a shark .
