The USFA was one of three finalists in the award for Excellence in
Recreational Fishing Communication for the USFA Guide to Spearfishing in NSW
and the AUF one of three finalsts for Project of the Year with the Great
Australian Shark Count.
Attending from NSW were Darren Higgins, Adrian Wayne, Mick Rupnik and Mel
Brown with Adam Smith and Chad Lunow from Queensland and Matt Koopman from
Victoria.
For the size of our organization we can take great pride in the fact that
both the USFA and AUF were the winners of their respective categories.

About seven month's ago when competing in the Canada Cup well respected St George Diver Mark Colys was critically injured by a boat. The injuries were severe but Mark is making a determined comeback. This raffle has been organized to help Mark financially through this tough period. As you can see below the list of prizes are impressive and at $5 per ticket is very good value
So help our mate and buy a ticket or get a book of tickets (25 = $125) & sell to your friends.

The Far South Coast Championships were held on the 21st & 22nd of April at Narooma and was
hosted by South Coast Skindivers. Even though we had a smaller than usual turn out with 36
competing divers, it was one of the best comps at Narooma for years. You couldn’t have asked for
better conditions on day 1, with flat seas, warm waters and pretty good visibility. The only
complaint was the over- friendly seal population.
