The competition rules were simple: diving in pairs, each person could weight only two fishes (other than amber jack and barracuda) and the team with more pounds would win. Members of the Palm Beach Dive Club, Miami Dive Club and the Longfins went into the water and even though the weather wasn’t very nice and we had to enjoy 4 to 6 ft seas, the outcome was good for most of those that didn’t suffer from sea sickness: the 1st place was taken by the Miami club followed by the Longfins taking 2nd and 3rd.
