Jaco in the throws of being disqualifiedWe almost had a good result, Jaco would have probably come 4th overall if it were not for being disqualified for caring fish on his belt. Moo and Gyula had shockers both having days when they did not get any points at all! Flip if they went getting weighers it must have been hard going!
Jaco finished in 14th far from 4th and his score helped SA aleast get to 10th.
I am sure there will be a full report out on the World Spearfishing Champs soon.

hi gents.
well what can i say besided that it was a royal fiasco. day 1 saw all our divers in the deep on some rocks in 38m of water just to find a screaming current and no fish. back up plan was then implemented with the guys going for spots that have fish in the shallower water just to find divers on the spots and no fish. gyula went for a definite and speared a rock salmon of 2.2kg out of a cave against the island. jaco went to a cave that you enter and then swim 15m to a air bubble. he then swam from this air pocket to another 10m further into the cave. thhi gents.

we lodged an officail appeal.
day 2 saw even a bigger disaster. a false start saw about 30 divers starting to dive before official start. this was not the divers fault but the organisers and the commissioners on the boats who said the divers must go. our divers listen to the commissioners. thew committee organisers caught 9 divers in the water diving as the had been told that the comp had started. they where then told that the 9 where disqualified including gyula and moo. gyulas boat was then taken from him and given to a croatian and off the croatian, daniel gospic, went with gyula boat and gear. day two was a 4 hour comp and gyula only received a boat almost 3 hours onto ther comp with no gear. he eventually got his gear but was serioulsy dehydrated from the hour on the boat in a suit in 30 degrees plus.
jaco did it again going head to head with top divers in a cave and managed 8 fish, 7 weighers. putting him in second overall and the team 6th .
we latwer heard that they where standing to the disqualification on jaco and that was that. we faught it to the end but they did not even give us a hearing or anything. just a disqualification due to the chillian divers statement, that is all.
we appealed and appealed and they changed the story so many time, from that he had a body stringer to that the weight stringer was ilegal to many more.
basically in black and white. sa came 10th with jaco as best diver at 14.
jaco actually came second overall with the team comming 6th even with the false start fiasco. we would have definitely came in the top 5 if gyula and moo had a full 4 hours.
well done gent and especially jaco. event rammachotti from italy was amounsgt many that came to congratulate jaco and said that they did not undertand the disqualifications.
any way we have a 3day trip back home so i will add more once home.
the team is devistated on the outcomer and the happenings that i and many teams and captains do still not understand.
please will someone let brent addison know about this short note so he is informed.
thanks mark
Happy new year.
