Competition Report

There were three competitions for the 2001-2002 year: two regional and one national.

Regional September 2001 8 competitors
Regional March 2002 10 competitors
National May 2002 12 competitors

 

Over the year we have established a number of local contacts for support services. Most of these companies sponsor or donate time, equipment and personnel for our events. Most notably:

  • ER Plus for emergency medical services
  • H2O Madness for diver services
  • Pacific Coast Ocean Adventures for use of the Emerald Tide and dive skiff
  • Suunto for providing use of official gauges

Research towards writing an official guide to host and conduct a CAFA sanctioned competition is underway. This document, when completed, will be issued to all CAFA associated clubs to help them in the organization of all levels of competition.

In the next year we are planning two regional competitions and one national competition. The regional competitions will be in September 2002 and March 2003. Next year’s Nationals will be in May. The exact dates are yet to be determined, pending tides and support availability.

There is the possibility that the National competition will be an open competition where competitors from outside of the country can compete for separate prizes. Research into the feasibility of this option is ongoing.
