Hey all,

Novice comp is scheduled for this Sunday the 26th! This comp is aimed at people who haven't dived a competition and would like to see what it is all about.. Novice divers will be paired up with experienced divers. Everyone is welcome!

People who are seriously interested in partaking in this competition can you please post here or PM me, as we currently don't have a dive conveynor (Drew is in WA). I need to know what numbers we are looking at so i can organise if this comp is to go ahead. We only had 8 divers last Sunday at a club comp, so if we only have a few people interested in the novice comp we might just turn it into a bit of a social day.

Please let me know ASAP who's interested.

Cheers

Me and a few mates are new to spearfishing too. We havent joined the southern freedivers yet but we would love to come along for info and advice; we might even compete but we arent that good. But i guess its all about practice.

Cheers Daniel Barrah

Ok thanks guys. Sounds like there is a bit of support for the comp..

I will try and round up a dive conveynor (I'll be working) and organise a location. But the weather is not looking the best! I will post up details on Saturday arvo if the comp is going ahead.

You're not getting out there and showing us all how to dive Leigh? Who is diving it out of the top 5 divers on the rankings at the moment?

I can't unfortunately, I have another 21st in Hamilton. Would be a good experience though.

Bouyweather is the website. You have to go to the Victoria section, then click on the area you want to know about then click free 2 day forecast.

You end up with something that looks like this
