Hi all.
This weekend Southern Freedivers will be running the Newhaven Boat comp.
Its a genuine boat comp so boats will start the comp at Newhaven (Phillip Island). There are plenty of dive locations for those that wish to Shore dive if you cannot organise a boat or boat ride.
Comp will start at 9.00 from the channel just off the front of the Newhaven ramp. Shore divers will be able to start slightly before from the ramp/jetty.
More details as the day gets closer. All club competitions are nominated for Sunday however the Saturday may be used due to weather conditions. The club will post the decision on the Thursday prior on the 'Competitions' thread on the forum. All members welcome. Once again keep an eye on the 'Competitions' thread on the forum for the time, location or any changes.

Spewin i have to miss another one. Really hope i can atleast try and finish my first comp this season. Will do it solo this time so as not to ruin another persons day like my first comp attempt.

This competition is also the second round of the VSC Boat Aggregate, and The Hannan Cup. For more details, see the thread under VICTORIAN SPEARFISHING COMMISSION. All AUF members are welcome.

Another really great comp for the club with 19 divers taking to the water. There were plenty of fish around for those that new where to find them. Muzz finished with 19 species followed buy Drew with I think 16 then a group of 4 with 13. Conditions were superbly forecast by Muzz with vis at 10>12 m in most places. Final scores will go up when they are ready. Thanks all those that helped out with making it all happen.
I have to stop thinking that I am 21 again whenever I start a comp on the ski. Very sore for a couple of days.
Next comp is the state titles over the weekend 7,8,9 March.

finally Congratulations to Murray Petersen in taking the New Haven boat comp for a third year running!

Murray Petersen didn't take it, He owns it! 17 species is the best I've seen since the comp started until Muz turned up. I think he got 20 last year? and 19 this year- wow.

Thursday the legs came good.
