English is also widespread among certain professions (computers, aeronautics,...) but not in all like chemistry (German) or nuclear and spatial science (Russian)...
Coming back to Deeper Blue, limiting exclusively the languages used to English restricts the audience to certain geographic areas and professional backgrounds...
In particular I am not convinced that the professional freediving community worldwide masters English...
