Thanks for clarifying. I didn't assume that he was, I was just making a general point that I have seen some freedivers behaving in an unsafe way during pool training.

That's a good point. There are some people I want to spot me, and some that I don't. I used to think it was rude to refuse, but now I think my life is worth more than not offending someone. The same about me spotting someone - I don't want to be the supervisor for someone's Darwin Award.
