AUG 3
9th Annual Tristate Skin Divers Species Meet

Weigh-in 5:00pm Sharp!

Tristate Skindivers will be sponsoring the 9th Annual Tristate Species Meet. Last year's meet was INSANE with over 100 of the best divers New England has to offer.

This years should be equally great. We have lots of raffle items from all of our sponsors!

Registration fees with be $35 for non members and $30 for Tristate members via paypal at Tristateskindivers@gmail.com

UPDATE: WE WILL BE PUBLISHING THE OFFICIAL TOURNAMENT RULES TO FACEBOOK.

We hope to see you at the weigh in.

The meet is a species meet format, which means that you can weigh in one of each fish that are listed on the tournament rules. The more species you shoot, the better you do. Unlike a weight tournament, this focuses on your ability to shoot many different fish. The tournament will feature a kayak / shore division as well as a boat division. All diving must be within RI waters.

As in previous years, Tristate will be giving all proceeds from the tournament to a local charity in order to help those in need. This year's charity is still TBD

We look forward to seeing everyone there!

Venue: The weigh in will be hosted by the Bon Vue/ Hammerhead Grill in Narragansett, RI once again. Tristate would like to thank them in advance for the use of their facility. This year competitors MUST purchase all alcohol on premise from Bon Vue/Hammerhead Grill. No alcohol purchased off sight can be drank at the weigh in.
