Congratulations to Captain Mike, Owner of Aquanutz Scuba Diving Charters, for winning the 5 Day Tournament of Meg Week! You represented well! 🏴‍☠️🤿🦈

🏆 MEG WEEK 2026 CHAMPION 🏆

Congratulations to Captain Mike the very first Fossil Junkies Meg Week Champion! 🦈. Captain Mike was a member of team

Captain Mike put together an incredible performance during Founder’s Year, taking home not one—but two of the event’s biggest titles.

🏆 Best Quality Megalodon Tooth
🦈 Largest Whole Megalodon Tooth – 4.67 inches

After five days of competition and 74 complete Megalodon teeth recovered, Captain Mike’s beautiful 4.67-inch Megalodon tooth stood the test of time and earned him the top spot.

One of my favorite parts of this story is that Mike came into Founder’s Year with some healthy skepticism about the event. By the end of the week, he wasn’t just our first champion—he was all smiles, holding the championship trophies. That’s what Meg Week is all about.

Congratulations, Captain Mike, on becoming the first name ever engraved into Meg Week history. No one can ever take that away.

Congratulations to all of the Competitors!! Lost Florida was proud to support this Event!

🦈 FOUNDER’S YEAR COMPLETE. 🏆

What started as a simple idea turned into one of the most rewarding weeks I’ve ever experienced.

Thirty competitors from across the country came together for the very first Fossil Junkies Meg Week, and over five unforgettable days we watched friendships grow, sportsmanship shine, and an incredible fossil diving community come together.

We recovered an unbelievable 74 complete Megalodon teeth, incredible Ice Age fossils, and made memories that will last a lifetime.

Congratulations to all of our 2026 Meg Week Champions:

🏆 Best Quality Megalodon Tooth – Captain Mike
🦈 Largest Megalodon Tooth – Captain Mike
🦷 Most Complete Megalodon Teeth – Captain Dustin
🦈 Largest Extinct Mako Tooth – Mitch W
🦴 Best Overall Mammal Fossil – Amanda V
🎥 Best Recovery Video – Todd (Silver Mullet Fossils)

One of my favorite moments of the week wasn’t even underwater—it was watching the competitors cheer each other on, celebrate each other’s finds, and seeing Todd selflessly hand the GoPro prize to Krissy. That’s the kind of sportsmanship and community I hoped Meg Week would create.

A huge thank you to every competitor, our sponsors, Venice Dive Center, our media team, my incredible crew, and everyone who followed along this week. You helped turn an idea into a tradition.

This is only the beginning.

We’ll see you all at Meg Week 2027. 🦈🏆

Meg Week Day 3 Leaderboard 🦈🔥

Captain Mike made a big move today, taking the overall lead after Day 3.

He’s currently leading:
🦈 Best Quality Megalodon
🦈 Largest Megalodon
🏆 Overall Points

Captain Dustin takes over the Most Complete Megs category, knocking Amanda out of the top spot with an impressive 7 complete megalodon teeth.

Amanda’s extinct mako (Lesser White) is still holding strong in its category, and her beautiful complete juvenile mammoth tooth is going to be a tough one to beat for Best Mammal Fossil.

Mike F joins the leaderboard with the current Best Recovery Video.

We saw a lot of movement from today’s group, and with Day 4 still ahead, there’s plenty of time for the leaderboard to change.

With two days remaining, the competition is far from over. One incredible dive could completely reshape the standings.

Who’s making a run tomorrow? 😤

🦈 30 Divers. 5 Days. One Big Hunt.
