Re: CMAS World Freedive Spearfishing Championships

I don't know if they used scuba equipment for their scouting in Venezuela. I do know that the spaniards visited the area at least three times in the last few months, and took gps readings of the good spots. However, if familiarity with the area were the only, or even the main reason, for winning the championship, then the Venezuelans should have won easily, and they didn't. In fact the Venezuelan federation designated the national team choosing only spearos who live in Margarita island and knew the zone as the palms of their hands. Last year the championship was in Portugal and was won by a Chilean.
