We don't separate the age divisions beyond junior and open. In other comps Murray would be both open and senior champion. Senior does not mean the elderly (50 plus)

But If we did Bret would be over 50's champ ( Well done !)

Why is salt water so far away and the weather so crappy at this time of the year ?

Well done to all. Rather challenging conditions on Saturday with a bit of swell and almost no vis. Rob really showed how far we have to lift to be competitive against those that have been there and done it in all conditions before. Well done Rob. Monday presented us with much more favourable conditions (especially those that chose the bay) at the Schank. Well done Murray who was clearly ahead of the pack. Bit of a pity that all that competed on Sat could not make it. Thanks Claire for picking up the safety gear and the scales. And those that helped with the weigh ins and scoring.

Big congrats to muzz with back to back state titles!
And well done to all the other divers, it wasn't te easiest conditions
And there was a few feeling under the weather on sat!
Also thanx to Lethal for helping out with the weigh ins on Monday

What a great experience for my first time in the ocean

THATS 3 IN A ROW FOR THE CHAMP!!
I dont know the records, but I'm sure not many would've won 3 in a row.
Well done!

Hey Guys/Gals

Many thanks for putting up with a Queenslander again for a second year in a row. I had a blast. I threw up a few times. I got to shoot some new fish species for me and see some more of your coastline.
You all shared local knowledge and hunting tactics with me and made me feel very welcome. I will definately be coming back down again for some more fun.

Cheers
Duncan
