Event Description
Dive into the fight against invasive species with the Apex Predator Challenge, a one-of-a-kind lionfish tournament that puts scuba divers at the forefront of protecting our marine ecosystems!
Participants will board one of two dive boats and head out to designated dive sites to hunt for the invasive lionfish, a species that threatens the balance of our waters. Equipped with skill, determination, and a passion for conservation, divers will compete in teams of two to remove as many lionfish as possible, with exciting cash prizes awarded to the top-performing teams.
Every participant will receive a commemorative Apex Predator Challenge Coin, a symbol of their commitment to the cause, and a versatile beach towel that doubles as a seat cover—perfect for keeping your car seats clean after a day of diving.
This tournament is an exciting opportunity to make a difference, meet fellow ocean advocates, and enjoy a day of adventure on the water. Join us for a rewarding and impactful event that blends competition with conservation!
