Fish auctions will be held under permit from Fisheries New Zealand. Proceeds from fish auctions be donated to charity.

 

All competitors should familiarise themselves with the NZ spearfishing competition rules:

In particular, take note of gear requirements (floats with flags etc): You will not be able to start if you do not have a qualifying float. 

 

Open Championships: You are responsible for finding a partner to dive with. We will assist if we can.

 

Individual events (women's and juniors): you are responsible for arranging a safety observer who will accompany you at all times during the vent and who must be familiar with the rules. We will assist if we can.

 

Boats: Competitors are not required to have boats. Zones for the open are intended to be shore starts. 

 

The Champs Director and SNZ committee are reviewing medical requirements for competitors, we will advise when the review has been completed.

 

You can enter more than one competitor per booking but they must be entered seperately within the booking.
