I am sorry if my tone sounded too harsh, but in fact I chose it intentionally. I believe strong words are very much in place here. These posts are being read by unexperienced beginners including very young kids who may take such advices for serious, and may kill themselves. Having seen too many threads here on DB about freedivers dying when training static apnea alone in depth, makes those of us who read this forum regularly, pretty aware that it is far too common and too dangerous. Unfortunately those who post the question "how to improve my bottom time" (the most frequent one here on DB), they apparently did not take the time to read through the forum, and are not aware of how many young people unnecessarily die in this way. And I feel that if another DB member sends the newbies and kids the wrong way, I think it is necessary to react rather hysterically, otherwise the answer may easily remain overseen or ignored. So on my mind a little beating over the head of the first responder was needed.
