  • United States National Skindiving Spearfishing
    UNITED STATES NATIONAL SKINDIVING SPEARFISHING CHAMPIONSHIP BID 2021 Sanctioned by the Underwater Society of America (USOA) - member of World Underwater Federation (CMAS) and United States Olympic Committee (USOPC) Host: Palm Beach Freedivers (PBF) Date: August 10 - 13, 2021 Location: Sandsprit Park, Stuart FL Prepared by Scott Turgeon – Palm Beach Freedivers President & USOA Skindiving Spearfishing Director TO: Karen Thullner - President USOA FROM: Scott Turgeon - President Palm Beach Freedivers Contact: Scott Turgeon (561) 827-6632, [email protected] The Palm Beach Freedivers (PBF) is honored to submit this bid to host the 2021 USOA Skindiving Spearfishing National Championships. The Championship will be held the week of August 10 to 13, 2021. The Captain’s meeting will be Tuesday August 10, tournament day Thursday August 12, contingency tournament days for bad weather Wednesday and Friday August 11 & 13, and awards ceremony banquet Friday August 13. Location: Sandsprit Park in Stuart, FL. Located at: 3443 SE St. Lucie Blvd, Stuart, FL 34997 This location was chosen because of its abundance of fish, extensive public artificial reef program, relatively shallow diving, and reduced boat traffic (as compared to Palm Beach and areas south). Sandsprit Park is the closest boat ramp to the Stuart inlet and there are ample food & hotel options in the nearby vicinity. Stuart is only about 45 minutes North of Palm Beach International airport (PBI). Competition: The tournament will be held on a single day (Thursday August 12) with 6 hours of diving and ½ hour travel times at both the beginning and end of the dive time. The tournament day may be moved to as early as Wednesday August 11th or as late as Friday August 13th as contingency days to accommodate for bad weather.

  • Interpacific Spearfishing Report 2014 Raiatea, Tahiti History of the Competition the Team
    Interpacific Spearfishing Report 2014 Raiatea, Tahiti History of the competition Formally known as the tripartite and comprising of three spear fishing nations this competition has developed into the biggest international spear fishing tournaments in the southern hemisphere Starting in 1977 with Australia, New Caledonia and New Zealand other nations like Tahiti, Hawaii and Guam have taken up the challenge to strengthen this prestigious international event. Australia has won the Interpacific at least 10 times (5 in Australia, 4 in NZ, 1 in Hawaii) but has never won in New Caledonia or Tahiti. The team The Australian team was put together at short notice due to the late withdrawal or unavailability of most of the top ranked divers from the national competition at Kangaroo Island. This was probably due to conflicts with the World championships in Peru, work commitments and expense of travel. However there was good communication and several of the top tropical reef divers in Australia were asked if they were interested to join the team. Left to right: Jack Lavender, Sam Morgan, Michael Pannach, Dr Adam Smith, Taylah Martindale, The Australian mens and womens team was managed by Joe Martindale. The women's team was one spearfisher Taylah Martindale as no other Australian females were available. The. Men's team was Adam Smith, Michael Pannach, Jack Lavender and Sam Morgan. There was no reserve as there has been in previous years. Taylah had represented Australia last year as was part of the winning women's team. Adam has represented Australia ten times in five countries and had experience in Tahiti in 2002.
