Under the patronage HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, the Fazza’ Championships include traditional sporting events including falconry, hunting with dogs, archery, freediving (hiyari) and the renowned youla championships.
The Diving Championship (Hiyari), commonly known amongst international freedivers as the “Dubai Range Rover Freediving Competition), will be held at the Le Meridien Mina Seyahi from 8th April 2010 – 9th April 2010. First prize is normally a Range Rover however details of the competition are yet to be received this year.
Please note that the dates may alter at the last minute so competing freedivers coming from overseas should allow a couple of days before and after the advertised dates in case of change. Deeperblue will be in contact with the organisers and publish updates as they are received.
In previous years there has only been one female competitor. All females are encouraged to come and compete. Anyone who would like to compete and needs training before the event is welcome to join the freedivers of Dubai every Tuesday or Thursday evening. Contact me on diva@divasindubai.com for more details.
