H.Dessault participated in the 2011 U. S. National Spearfishing Championships in Tavernier,Florida Keys on August 3rd & 4th with our sponsored Team composed: Alex Bristol, Julian Cruz & Tony Miranda as divers and Eric Pinon as their boat driver. In this occasion the team was not able to win in any category but it was fortunate to add knowledge and experience to our team’s extensive competitive spearfishing career in the US.

Julian Cruz did get 5th place in the “Individual Division” and Team Dessault-America took 4th place in the “Team Division”. We would like to thank Championship staff for making this a great and organized event. Thank you also for the Banquet, the food was great! Congratulations to all the winners and participants. Dessault-America also participated as a Sponsor for the Championship. (check out www.spearfishingnationals.com)
