I was out diving with four mates yesterday. Somehow we got onto the subject of how we were born.
I was born by emergency C Section with loads of complications and deprived of oxygen at birth to the extent that they told my parents I would be brain damaged (and until I got my Masters I think my folks still believed that!) 3 of the other divers were ALL born with their umbilical cord around their neck - depriving them of oxygen. The fourth did not know and rushed off to ask his mother... is this a recurring theme amongst freedivers? have we discovered the missing link??? a wacky thought for christmas week... Sam

A little correction, I was not born with the umbilical cord around my neck, but I came out so fast that I was blue..
 I was not born too early or anything, I just came out real fast..

I asked my mom and she just told me that I'm adopted!
 Nah, she said it was a normal birth. Maybe this thread should be a poll (yes/no/I don't know)?

I too had the cord around the neck when born. Not sure about the color though, haven't heard the stories in decades. Wonder if I had a samba?

I think I've heard from my mom that I was too born with the cord arround my neck, maybe you're on to something! Why not make a poll about it?
Love, peace and water! Carlos. //edit: I've checked with my mother, and apparently I was wrong.  It was a normal birth  But do contiou the search! Love peace and water! Carlos.

Very interesting, I also was born with the C section, and had to spend few days in the baby chamber afterwards. Lack of oxygen at the birth seems to be the case for the majority of freedivers
