Today through the social media many “entities” try more and more to influence the public opinion. Very often, even though not always, opinions and reviews come from unprofessional and biased sources. Moreover, in the spearfishing and freediving sectors, absurdly, products are reviewed and approved by the same people who design and sell them, wear and utilize them thanks to a sponsoring agreement, or have absolutely no real skills, experience and expertise to evaluate the equipment. To return to professional and independent reviews, the Award & Best Choice prizes by Apneapassion have been created.
With a professional international jury of 9 among athletes and experts of the spearfishing and freediving worlds, coming from Italy, France, Spain and the UK, Apneapassion will analyze and evaluate the best products on the market. We will do this, as always, with an unconditional and independent approach. Through the deep study and testing of the products, comparisons, and scientifical measuring, each member of the Jury will vote and give his final evaluation of each product.
