Tournament Moved to Next Weekend

I wanted to let everybody know that the Fall Freedive Classic has been moved to next weekend(October 22nd). This is an open tournament to all and is always a lot of fun. We have really cool awards and a great scoring system that makes hunting all the different species a challenge. I hope you can make it.

Cheerzzzz,

G.R.
