The preparation for the U.S. Spearfishing Nationals is well under way and the tournament date is set for Thursday, August 9, 2007. The Nationals will be held in Fort Bragg, California at its port called Noyo Harbor.
“This is an important Nationals as it will determine our international spearfishing tournament teams,” explained Dave Edlund, USOA National Skindiving Director.
“The next CMAS World Spearfishing Championships will be in Margarita Island, Venezuela in fall of 2008 and it will have both a men’s and women’s event.
“That’s the good news. But, as the total countries participating will be limited to around 20, the U.S. men’s team must dive an Americas Qualifier at Higuerote, Venezuela from roughly October 5-9, 2007. So this means, that after this years Nationals is over, there will be less than 2 months before the U.S. men’s team must try to qualify for Worlds”
