Narragansett Pier Dive Shop is closing in 2012! » spearfishing http://pierdive.com Call 401.783.2225 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 00:16:11 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Picasso Open 2008 http://pierdive.com/picasso-open-2008/ http://pierdive.com/picasso-open-2008/#comments Fri, 15 Aug 2008 21:11:50 +0000 pierdive http://pierdive.com/?p=66 On August 2nd, 2008 forty-six competitors descended on Narragansett Bay for the 2008 RI Picasso Open freediving species meet. Freedive hunting is the only way to practice “Release before you Catch” rather than “Catch and Release”. A freedive hunter is given the opportunity to select an individual fish and let the rest swim by, rather than stressing and endangering several fish until a suitable one is caught.  The species meet was created to determine the most proficient FreeDive Hunter by establishing rules in which diversity, rather than total aggregate weight, of a catch will prove who is the best.

Narragansett Pier Dive Shop would like to thank all the competitors (& especially the gentleman from NC who brought us some tasty bacon-wrapped shrimp) and Picasso America for co-sponsoring this event.
