Protea Spearfishing Selection More exciting news! Our Lowrance SA Brand Ambassador, Guy le Meme (KZN), has been chosen for the Protea Spearfishing Team to compete in the 2019 XXXII CMAS Euro-African Championships (CMAS) event in Svendborg, Denmark (September 5 – 9th). His selection comes after the Trials which recently took place in Cape Town – where the water temperature and visibility are similar to Svendborg’s. The Trials were based on a shore entry format to replicate the rules for the upcoming CMAS competition. The top 10 finishers in the last two South African National events, previous Protea Divers and Open Competition Winners were invited to compete. The divers started diving at Container bay close to Rooi Els point on the first day but only four managed to weigh in fish. In the end these results were used to select the National Team, as the second days diving was cancelled for safety reasons. Guy shot this 25kg Wahoo off Aliwal Shoal last week.
