Re: CMAS is killing U/W sports

We are just making circles.
The bad thing about this is the banning politics. I'm member of AIDA Colombia executive committee and also from the Apnea National Commission of Colombian Federation of Underwater Activities. So I now both sides.
The main reason to be with the federation is political support, because with them we are in "the right side". For sponsorship is better to be with the government. But AIDA has taken in account the freedivers philosophy, and the rules and competitions have evolved into a better sport.
CMAS don't accept Constant Weight. But we DO constant weight.
Somebody has to rule this competitions. And that still is my question. Why CMAS has to be long-life the maximal authority?. If they don't take care of what athletes want, why another world federation can't take their place?.
I know that in my country, I'll have to make a choice, because the Federation will not accept that I'm part of AIDA too. I will choose AIDA.
