Hibberdene + Social Club Spearfishing Comp

I went down to Hibberdene last weekend. I dived with Neil Myburg on his newish boat "Dugout". The surf was rather big on the backline and everyone launching was a little concerned luckly there was a nice lul, and good timing would ensure a safe launch.

We had really good weather, good vis and the water was warm compared to what its been like around Richards Bay on one of the days the water was 19 deg...rather strange. We dived all over deep and shallow hoping to find some couta, unfortunately there was none to be found, although though the fisherman got some. So we changed stategy and decided to get some bottom fish. We got a few, with Neil getting a nice Tassel of around 6-7kg.

Other that that, Fernando from Centurion Divers is planning a "Social Club Spearfishing Comp". He wanted know if Zululand would be keen to Join? Also "SAUFF are very keen to be involved in such a comp and would like to endorse the event and get behind it."
The Comp is still been planned, however it will most likely be held at Scottburgh.
I'll let you know as soon as I know more.

I think this is a great idea, as it will get divers use to the format of spearfishing they have at Nationals and Trials.

Cheers
Warren
