The SSI Invasive Species Specialty (Lionfish Management) teaches divers how to safely and responsibly control invasive lionfish populations on Bonaire’s reefs.
You’ll learn about the species’ biology, environmental impact, and the correct use of specialized equipment for safe capture and removal.

Our instructors provide hands-on training in species identification, safe handling of venomous spines, and proper disposal techniques.
The course emphasizes conservation, safety, and the importance of protecting native marine ecosystems.

This training is ideal for divers who want to make a positive impact and contribute directly to reef conservation while improving their buoyancy, awareness, and control.
