Re: CMAS is killing U/W sports

Deepthought, I am NOT on the side of Cmas. Cmas is a major shame, Cmas even failed to bring freediving into the olympics, so they're ridiculous in claiming that they are an Olympic organization.
But do you honestly think that Aida will succeed to bring freediving to the Olympics? That a private organization will convince the Olympic Comitee to accept freediving in the Games? Oh, come on...
You say about Umberto Pelizzari's Apnea Academy: that's a great thing, trying to give freediving the dignity it was loosing, and they do an excellent job because their main concern is teaching, not records. They're affiliated to the official federation and apply federation's rules not because they like it, but because, right or wrong, they're trying to change the "establishment" from inside. Wars and fragmentation will not change anything in better.
Just my two cents
