LIC Pairs Competition – St Albans Head

The London International Club would like to invite you to the 2024 Pairs Competition in Dorset Saturday 20th July 2024. There is no back-up date, so if bad weather entry fees will be refunded.

Competitors shall dive in pairs and can dive wherever they choose in the UK, from boat or shore. The competition starts at first light on the 20th of July. There is no meeting prior to the competition but competitors must be at the weigh-in at the MYTIME Retreat Centre in Dorset (see details below) by 5pm.

A meal will be held after the weigh-in and is open to all competitors as well as family & friends. Valid species are Bass, Bream (all species), Pollack, Cod, Mullet (all species) and Flatfish (all species except Skate and Rays). Each team (pair) weighs in their biggest specimen for each of the 6 categories. Prizes are awarded for the heaviest fish of each category and for the biggest crustacean. Shore divers are at a disadvantage versus boat divers, so will be recognised when awarding prizes when possible.

The LIC Pairs Competition is a great opportunity to promote spearfishing in the UK, encourage teamwork, quality, diversity of catches and have fun. Sponsorships and prizes include top quality gear from Sigalsub, Spearfishing UK, Polo Sub, Dave Mellor, Marea, Freedivers Co, Icey-Tek, Little Moons, Fins4U, Ocean Sports, Apneists UK, Start Point Spearfishing, From the Bay, Monk, MSA Contro Corrente, The Frenchman, Spearfishing Cartel, Yakkida, Green Olive Firewood, The Salt Box and others.

Divers dive at their own risk. By entering this competition, divers agree to take full responsibility for their own safety and to abide by the competition rules.
