Jump blue? What a joke 
Right - got that off my chest.  |
Thanks for venting
Apart from the many dashes and capitalisation in that post, I'd like to second this. Banning people for whatever they do in their spare time is ridiculous - CMAS might as well ban left-handed or red-headed people. (or left-handed redheads, for that matter
)
This kind of stuff looks a bit like the boxing world to me, where there's about 48 World Champions™ at all times and people who know the phone number of someone in a different club get their pets tortured until they promise to forget that number and feel
really bad about it.
From what I've seen, AIDA much acts like an organisation for competitive freediving. All the stuff taught in their courses points to competitive freediving and that is okay with me as long as I have the possibility to learn their stuff and am able to look into other things as well.
There is a still young and small organisation growing into the field of apnea, the
IDIC - The Apnea branch is still in the process of taking shape and I think one can make a major difference there, that's why I chose to become IDIC Apnea Instructor. Let's see what happens there - I'm very curious.
