The problem is already more or less solved...I can get on another boat and there are some spearfishers getting together here to start some sort of club...

I'll keep on diving no worries there

But it's the whole attitude put forward by the diveschool that pisses me off severly. Luckily I've found ways to circumvent their ban but if I hadn't...well...can u say smoking hole in the ground?


Just a little background info :

During the DMT course you have lectures on physics, equipment, physiology, etc.... In my case they're given by one of the two course directors here (the bosses).
During the Physiology lecture they actually say that freediving is cool and that ANYONE can get to 30meter in 2 weeks of training no problem. They don't mention safety, they don't mention the freedive after scuba thing,.... What they basically do is set a performance standard...'if u don't get 30m in 2 wks ur a wuss'

Is that unresponsible behaviour or what?

And this isn't a fluke...I've done that lecture 3 times...same thing 3 times...


And now when I get to 30m they freak out

oh well....I just laugh in their face and move on

sorry 'bout the rash language earlier

cheers,
ender
