We hold meetings on a monthly basis at  Charlestown (see calendar for next meeting). At club meetings members can learn new skills and information about dive gear and popular target species with topic nights on various aspects of this great sport.

We welcome all keen spearos to attend one of our meetings as this is the best time to meet the guys and organise boat rides for the next comp (usually the following Saturday ).

Our comp structure has evolved over the past three years, concentrating on selective taking of fish to preserve stocks and maintain an ecologically friendly sport ( see competition page for more info).

 

We are proudly affiliated with the Australian Underwater Federation and the NSW Underwater Skindivers & Fishermans Association.

The Living Water Freedivers also host the annual Nelson Bay Bigfish Comp. This is a competition open to all spearos affiliated with the A.U.F which encourages selective fishing by awarding the top ten biggest fish, from a selective species list, weighed in for the day. Competitors can only weigh one fish in this competition making it a comp that allows the diver to target a particular species rather than several to obtain points.
