Divers’ Rodeo
Weigh in
Mike
McGuire’s heart sank when he opened up his hatch; he
had shot an illegal sized parrotfish. He could leave the small fish in
his
kayak or cast it away in the ocean. He didn't. Consequently, Mike was
disqualified at a great cost; giving up first place in the mixed
doubles, third
over-all in the men’s division, and a chance to qualify for the next
Worlds
Meet. Mike’s comment was succinct: (clearly stated in few words) “In
the end
you have to be able to look at yourself in the mirror”. Sportsmanship
and
honestly like Mike’s wasn't universal; in the men’s division two major
protests
were lodged because some competitors accused other competitors of
releasing
fish in order to increase their scores.
Mike,
From all of
us at Atlantis Divers® and I am sure all of our
spearfishing
friends; Thank you for demonstrating to us that honesty is
worth much more than prizes or rewards.
Our hats are off for a true hero among us!
