The official organisation promoting and advocating for safe & sustainable use of our natural fisheries resources by Recreational Spearfishers
This is where you will find photos, newspaper clippings and written recollections of spearfishing comps, events and results that go back to the beginning of organized spearfishing in New Zealand. Wherever possible we will acknowledge who posted them and who has commented and maybe even been there at the time.
