As a Bahamian I find it quite disappointing that you, as a seemingly experienced diver, can complain about lack of fish in the Bahamas in one breath and brag of spearing "summer crab" and lobster in the next breath. I'm sure you respect bag limits and sizes while in the USA, why not in the Bahamas. As you stated you began your trip on the 26th of june. In case you forgot lobster season is closed April 1st to July 31st in the Bahamas. We appreciate that you come and enjoy our Country, but all we ask is that you abide by the rules we have set in place to protect our resources, so that future generations of divers can experience what we get to experience now. I don't want to rain on your parade here but please be respectful when you do come and visit is all I, and all Bahamians, ask for. Otherwise there will be nothing left... as you have already seen first hand with the lack of fish. It is one thing for Bahamians to feed their families with fish and sell to local markets but it is the illegal poaching and filling of coolers and freezers and being taken back to the States, among other places (Dominican republic, Cuba, etc) that has gotten us to the point we are at.
