Spearfishing Tournaments

[shadygrady]

Does anyone know of any spearfishing tourneys in the So Florida/Keys area?

 

[ReefGuy]

There's the Key West open (I think that's what it's called). Try over on Spearboard.com, they'll know of any and all in the area, there's also a number of shooters from the keys over there.

I spearfish, but don't do tourneys.
