We are excited to announce the upcoming Blue Water Odyssey & Reef Competition, a unique team-based multi day tournament dedicated to promoting safety through buddy diving, sustainable fishing practices, and community.
The Blue Water Odyssey and Reef Competition aims to bring together spearfishing fishing enthusiasts from across the region to compete in a friendly yet competitive environment. More importantly, it serves as a platform to educate participants and the community on the importance of responsible fishing practices and marine conservation.
There are two entry categories: Big Game (tuna, white sea bass, yellowtail, dorado) and Reef (halibut, calico, rubber lip, and opal eye). You can take part in one or both. Sign up now!
Thank You To Our Sponsors!
