Hello fellow readers. Saspearoranking website has almost been going for a year now and things are going well. A site like this could obviously not exist without the input, articles and pictures from the diving community and fellow divers. A big thank you to all that have made this happen and for the support that we have received. The ranking system is still functioning well; we are however looking at other methods of improving the accuracy of the ranking system. Please support all competitions to ensure your highest possible position within the ranking. We are in the process of changing the sites name at the moment. “Saspearoranking” sounded perfectly fine to me but we have felt that an easier name would be better for all to remember and use. We also feel that with the world wide shift from “spearfishing” to “underwater fishing” that it was also necessary for us to make some changes ourselves. SAFA has also changed their name to fit in with the world Underwater Fishing bodies and are now known as SAUFF - South African Underwater Fishing Federation. The SA colors received by our national team are also under the name “Underwater Fishing” so the various governmental sporting bodies are also seeing our sport as Underwater Fishing. With all this in mind we have also changed our sites name to www.underwaterfishing.co.za. You will obviously also be able to access the site via the usual domain name of www.saspearoranking.co.za. We have also added a “registration system” to our site. The aim of this is to get as many underwater fishermen and clubs to become SAUFF affiliated and to keep an electronic file of exactly who is involved in our sport. Without this we, as the diving community, do not have a “voice” or a say in any matters that may affect our sport as a whole. It is very difficult for SAUFF to fight any cause with a voice of only 4 affiliated underwater fishermen!! Please support SAUFF with regards to this as I am sure that it will be of benefit to every underwater fisherman out there. The registration system has been made extremely easy for all to use so please register yourself and your clubs so we can have a “voice”. I would like to once again thank all for their support and please remember to keep the articles and pictures coming as this is of interest to all. Much Appreciated.
Thanks Mark
