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 )

Looks love sick to me! Observe the body language, Sven has shunned him!

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.

....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....)

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