As I wrote in this thread, i think that Cmas is unefficient, old minded, even ridiculous. But let me say, with no offense for anyone of you mates, three things pro Cmas and against all this easy pro Aida enthusiasm.
1-Cmas officials rejected "constant" not because they're pervert fools, but because they consider it dangerous for the life and health of the athletes and referees. There's a Cmas scientific board, composed by valuable doctors and officials, who responsibly stated that "constant" competitions can not be held in acceptable safety conditions, and that long-term consequences on human health have not yet been clinically tested enough to give green light.
2-Without one world federation recognized be the olimpyc committee, without one rule protocol valid for all, without credible medical-scientific certainties, freediving as a sport has no future. You may dive, you may set records, you may have fun. But this will never be an organized, respected,massively popular sport. By now, Cmas miserably has failed in achieving this goal. But I don't think that a private organization as Aida will succeed: what if, after aida, other private org's may be set, with different rules again, and others again? The best thing should be changing and modernizing Cmas from inside. Hard, I know...
3-Love it or leave it makes no sense to me. Cmas is a world comitee made up of national federations, and national federations have elective organisms, elected by local clubs and circles of divers, spearos and finswimmers. There could have been, and there could be, a democratic way to change Cmas, starting from the people. Trying this is better than fragmentation into private associations in struggle between them basically for $.

Respectfully, just my opinion. Please, feel free to tell me how i'm wrong.
