Hi All,

Apologies for the recent changes.
We have been able to organise enough people to run the sorrento boat comp this weekend.

This is still weather dependant and the final call will be made on Thursday evening.

We will still delay the southern freedivers christmas party to a later date (tba).

    Hi All,

    The Sorrento Boat Comp has been called ON for Sunday (12/11).

    Sign on for this comp will finish at 8.30am at the bottom car park. No late entries will be accepted.
    The competition will start at 9am with sign off finishing at 3.00 back at the ramp.

    NOTE: Each diver must sign off individually by 3pm, with the exception of the skipper of each boat. Another diver from their boat can sign them off.
    This is to ensure there are minimal boats moored to the boat ramp.
    People on Jetski's must sign off individually as they are able to anchor in the shallows away from the boat ramp.

    For all competition rules, please refer to the competitions section of the forum.
    Please bring your entry forms filled out with the correct money ( $15 and $5 Junior). (Forms from me will be $5 each).

    For boat owners, it is recommended that you arrive EARLY to beat the rush at the boat ramp.
    The bay will be flat, so there will be a lot of boats heading out.

    A safety check will be performed to ensure all divers have the required spearfishing safety equipment.
    Boat owners will be responsible for the
    There are plenty of safe shore dives available for those without a boat ride.

    Comp is open to all AUF members however SFD membership is required to score points for the Southern Freedivers club aggregate.

    Look forward to seeing you all on Sunday!

    Hi All,

    Please note the Sorrento boat comp is part of the The “Hannan” competition.

    This is a 4 person “species” competition that is runs over the 3 Southern Freedivers boat competitions.
    The idea is for the whole 4 person team to work together to catch as many different species as possible over the 3 boat comps.

    The various different species are added to one team score sheet and only one per species counts. i.e. If the team of 4 divers jointly catch 17 different species at the first competition at Sorrento they then need to target only different species at the 2nd and 3rd boat competitions.

    Winning team scores have been as high as 30 species. Over the years, this has been a very keenly contested competition , especially for those who don’t want to chase the same old regular species every competition. Four person teams can dive in different areas and out of different boats to target different species. It is amazing to see which species come in when targeting them. Often divers only weigh 1 or 2 species each in the later comps in the season to help their teams win.

    The Hannan competition is NOT an extra competition day but runs in conjunction with the boat comps. It also does NOT have any extra sign on fee and the only pre requisite is that you are a financial member of the Australian Underwater Federation.

    The Jim Hannan Memorial Cup and 4 smaller trophies will be awarded to the winning team of four divers at the Southern Freedivers presentation night at the end of the dive season.

    You can sign on and nominate your four person teams when signing on for the Sorrento boat competition this weekend, or email them to southernfreedivers@outlook.com
    NOTE: You will still need to sign on at the competitions, but you need only nominate your team once.
