Dive In Cup 2019 results

Bad conditions

The weather conditions at Dive In Cup 2019 were very bad because on the day of the competition a storm cayght Zadar and the surrounding area, and while skippers suffered the most on the surface because of the heavy rain that was continuously falling, spearos were able to do a good job under the surface.

In some areas the current was very strong and visibility was from one to four meters.

Winner was evident even before weighing

Already on the delivery of the catch it was clear that Baresic won his first title at the Dive In Cup 2019. Spearo from Zadar made good preparations and brought impressive catches.

The first favourite of the competition, Daniel Gospic, who won five times the title of the best in Zadar, this year was not competing due to illness, and because of business obligations the Italian Giacomo De Mola, who won two years ago together with this year’s fourth-graded Stefano Claut, was also absent.

SRD Harpoon and Dive In once again did a great job, and next year they will host the second World Cup for clubs, a competitions under the International Confederation of Water Sports CMAS.
