Re: Guy Harvey Lionfish Safari - Sept 12-13

Thank you Lionfish Striker for donating and joining us at the event. Safety is ALWAYS rule #1 when it comes to diving, and your products sure help in keeping those spear tips in check. Brian will be joining us at the event for demonstrations and have extra product on hand. Be sure to go visit his booth.

Thank you Brian James

Re: Guy Harvey Lionfish Safari - Sept 12-13

Thank you ZooKeeper for contributing to help our event, and to helping to drive the cause of informing the public of this invasive problem. It's the development of tools like yours that help to keep us safe while we do our part in trying to collect and learn about Lionfish, and hopefully influence the progression of this invasion.

Thank you Allie.

Thank you Blue Water Life for giving your time to attend our events, in fact most every event having to do with SCUBA in the area and providing such excellent photo coverage of the events. Your mastery of the art shows in your pictures. Looking forward to seeing all the photograph and video entries at the event.

Thanks Heidi Thoricht and Mike Miller

Thank you Suncoast Dive-Center for your donation. Chad and his crew are very helpful and easy to talk with when it comes to diving and spearfishing. They offer a full line up of classes and have quite a selection of gear. The dry bags donated will definitely help out someone's gear.

Thank you Chad Campbell.

Re: Guy Harvey Lionfish Safari - Sept 12-13

Thank you Nautilus Spearfishing down in Miami. Even though lionfish aren't your specialty, your passion of the sport shows in your customer service and knowledge of spearfishing in general. Your donation only helps to make our event that much better.

If you haven't had the privilege to meet Andrew, you can see him in videos on youtube and through spearheads TV.

Re: Guy Harvey Lionfish Safari - Sept 12-13

Special thanks goes out to Jim's Dive Shop as a returning gold level sponsor. Teresa definitely keeps active in all diving related activities, and it shows in the enthusiasm seen in her crew that attends these Lionfish events.

Last year they set the bar high, and is the boat to beat. Teresa and crew brought in 201 Lionfish at last year's event, and then went on to fillet the majority of the fish brought in for the whole event for people to eat.

Many thanks to Teresa Hattaway and crew from Jim's Dive Shop

Re: Guy Harvey Lionfish Safari - Sept 12-13

Thank you goes out Rock Bottom Dive Shop in Dunedin. An active sponsor throughout the diving community. The donation is very appreciated and will go out to some lucky person in attendance, hopefully someone that NEEDS to update their dive gear. We hope to see the Rock Bottom Dive boat out there slaying some fish on September 12th. Maybe some vets?

Veteran owned and operated, Scott and his crew work hand in hand with wounded vets to introduce them to the world of scuba

Thanks again Scott Crawford

Re: Guy Harvey Lionfish Safari - Sept 12-13

Thank you Southern Quality Property Maintenance for a generous donation toward furthering our Lionfish research. I think George was meant for handling Lionfish since he specializes in jobs too hard for most. Specializing in residential and commercial properties, servicing the Tampa Bay area.

Thank you George Himonetos

Re: Guy Harvey Lionfish Safari - Sept 12-13

Thank you for hosting the event and everything else you have done to make this event possible. The folks down at Guy Harvey Outpost are truly amazing from their generous donations of their property for the event to providing food to giving prizes to even having activities for the kids to do that are in attendance. They even reached out to a local TV station to have a Public Service Announcement developed to help make the general public aware of the situation that has come to our local waters. We cannot thank you enough.

Re: Guy Harvey Lionfish Safari - Sept 12-13

Thank you Raider Marine Services for your support and your donation. Services like yours keep our boats running allowing us to get out to monitoring and gather samples for research. The research gives us the knowledge to be able to inform the public on multiple aspects of different marine ecosystems.

Thank you Dan Slahetka.
