The Tampa Bay Spearfishing Club (TBSC) was formed in 2002 with the goal of promoting safe and competent spearfishing, while establishing a venue for spearfishermen to network with others who enjoy the sport. The TBSC is a charter member of the Florida Skin Diving Association (FSDA) and an active member of the dive community. Our members are highly involved in state and national fisheries management and are active in promoting legislation that affects the dive and spearfishing community. We also pride ourselves in participating and volunteering for FSDA competitions and charitable events to include the Fishing Rights Alliance, a powerful advocate for fishermen's rights; Dive Care, a charitable organization teaching wounded veterans and civilians with disabilities to scuba dive; and the America Cancer Society among many others. Lastly, the TBSC organizes and hosts one of the world’s largest annual spearfishing tournaments, the Tampa Bay Spearfishing Challenge. This is a family friendly tournament held every Spring that focuses on fun and camaraderie.
