i think though, to avoid having too many sub-sections, perhaps a Fr. Freediving/Spearos and a Sp. Freediving/Spearos maybe the answer...
we'll see what the feedback is and let you know...
i certainly enjoy reading posts in French, and speak French, but my written French is rubbish!  It's good practice anyway to learn terminology as i teach scuba in French from time to time.. good to learn all those "aquatic words".

Hi Sara,
Thanks for your positive contribution... Where are you from ?
I am a "pure" freediver, no spearhunter and no scuba diver...
French speaking scuba divers already have their French speaking web sites...
The rare FS web sites dedicated to apnea focus more on spearhunting than "pure" apnea...
Then the true "orphants" are the "pure" freedivers not interested neither in spearhunting nor in scuba diving...
I proposed the opening of a French speaking section within the Freediving Sub Forum because I feel I can animate such a section and act as a "linguistic bridge" as I did on the occasion of Massy's competition, between the vast majority of English speaking DB members and new members not so much at ease with English...
You suggest it might be open to spearhunters, but it would be another section within the Spearhunting Sub Forum and in such a section I could play no role since I know nothing about spear hunting (and am not especially interested...)...
To be efficient such a project has to be focused, and in case of success broaden progressively...
If you want to improve your written French, don't hesitate to send me an MP in French and I'll correct you...
Cheers...
François
