I still have yet to be pursuaded that it is a good idea to open a french (or any foreign language) section.

It would be interesting first to assess the number of French speaking DB registered members... The two French speaking DB "effective" participants have an outstanding level in English (one of them living in Britain)...
I suspect quite many of my compatriots had a sufficient level in English to register and read with an imperfect comprehension some posts, but were unable to "take off", out of sheer linguistic shyness...
On the other hand I got in touch with "greendiver" who is a Dutch speaking freediver living in Spain ; I intend to organize a freediving trip on the "Costa Brava" which is an amazing freediving region...
It would be interesting for me to get in touch with Catalan freedivers, but the proportion of Catalans speaking English is even lower than for the French (and Catalan language is closer to the French language than to Spanish...)...
