Sven IS irresistible!

Hope Martin will share his plans later on. I sincerely hope it's a change that everyone is happy with within PFI.

Well, you may be right - as Sven reported Martin was not there, so Sven's irresistibility could not influence him. And I guess something was already brewing in that time.

Hmm, it is hard to believe they'd be happy to lose such an excelent freediver (unless they've got too many complaints about Martin's Czech accent and had to dump him for political reasons )

Re: [News] Martin Stepanek Resigns from PFI

There is a new entry on Martin's webpage: ... News ...
No specific info though about the reasons or future plans, just a quite symbolic photo showing Martin turning the back:

Re: [News] Martin Stepanek Resigns from PFI

This is the quote Martin posted on PFI:


I want my friends and fellow freedivers to know that I'm taking a huge step that's going to change my life. After nearly six years devoted to establishing Performance Freediving International, I've decided to leave the company. My vision has grown apart from PFI and I believe I can contribute more to our sport and to our community by pursuing it independently. I thank all of you for your support and wish the best to PFI.

Re: [News] Martin Stepanek Resigns from PFI

....but not as irresistible and simply extraordinary as you, Sara!

(I didn't want the Sultan to feel bad - that if you walked in the room Sven wouldn't have a chance just goes without saying....)

Re: [News] Martin Stepanek Resigns from PFI

Lovely the sport of freediving is sooo huge that it has its on celebrity gossip.
Any more gossip out there that has totally nothing to do with the sport and the achievements ...Anyone, anyone?

Where the heavens did the discussion move to? I'd recomend to wait for an official announcement from Martin or somebody informed.
