52nd Boston Sea Rovers Clinic
March 4th and 5th

The opulent Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston, MA, will be host to the 52nd annual Boston Sea Rovers Clinic. It is simply the biggest and best diving event in New England each year and thanks to Boston Sea Rover member and the clinic's seminar organizer, David Sipperly, freediving and spearfishing is well represented. In past years the clinic has seen some of the biggest names in freediving and spearfishing thanks to Dave’s commitment to the sport. A short list of those in the freediving community who have presented their latest work and achievements at the clinic of years' past includes: Tanya Streeter, Terry Maas, Brett LeMaster, Ron Mullins, Glennon Gringo, and Kirk Krack.

This years clinic consists of an exhibitors hall, seminars, workshops, a night time film festival, and the show concludes with a benefit dinner.

Below I have included a selection of events offered at this years clinic.
