Well it has been a VERY busy few weeks for the Big 5 competition, with some fantastic fish weighed in. We have now cracked 35 competitors in total. When we crack 50 competitors, we will be giving some exciting prizes away in a lucky draw so keep an eye out and encourage your friends to enter to see this happen SOON!
Junior divers have really been getting stuck into their species over the past month or so which is great to see. Targeting a variety of species is the best way to improve your spearfishing skills across the board. The current Junior 5 scores are:
