Hi!!!! My first post

[kike]

I would just like to say hello to everybody. this is my firs post. The reason why i'm here is to find out more about freediving and the people who practice it. To be trully honest when i say to people in Croatia that i practice freediving, people usually don't have a slightest idea what i'm talking about.

So it would be a great refreshment to talk with somebody who knows something about it.

that is all for now.

I'll see you soon :wave

Hello.

Welcome to deeperblue.net! You will find a tremendous amount of valuable information already posted and a large number of experienced divers to assist with any new questions as well. The forum is friendly and quite entertaining at times, so look around and discover who's who, and what's what!

Please give consideration to a somewhat different log in name. The reason I mention this is the word, "kike" has a very derogatory meaning in the english language.

Once again, Welcome!!!

I think he must be refering to the American language or maybe some Floridian dialect because I've never heard that word before and I've been called most things!

Any way whatever your name is welcome aboard.

Meaning of KIKE
Pronunciation: kIk

WordNet Dictionary

Definition: [n] ethnic slurs; offensive terms for a Jew


It is a very common slanderous word that equates to jewish people as the N-word does to people of african decent.

If it is a legitimate birth name, then we are obligated to cultural respect to accept it, if it is however just a log-in nickname, it should be changed. Imagine if someone had a log-in name of "nigger" and you and many others here in the forum were of african decent. How would you feel???

Kike is a short name for Enrique, if you are Hispanic.

Very literate of you Jim, i didn't know the real meaning of that work, and I guess most people don't.

Let's keep an open mind

 

[Aquagenic]

Lived in the U.S. all of my life, and I've never heard that term, but that is very considerate of you.

Besides, I thought it was pronounced "Kee Kee", not "k.k." but maybe I'm wrong.

Regardless, welcome aboard Kike. The board is great, everyone is friendly, and it's always glad to see new members.

Till later...

[island_sands]

In Spanish they spell it Quique, but its pronounced kike. Ask any Spanish native tongue speaker...

anyway... welcome Kike!! tell us about your freediving in Croatia!

HI!!!

I see that there is slight argument about my name. Kike is short for croatian name Kristijan. Or in english it would be Christian. I'm very sorry that my nickname coused any trouble. Particulary if it's something about racism.
So to answer a few question.... Maybe

So to answer a few question.... Maybe the best diver in Croatia is Mr. Curavic. The man dives beneth a ice. This year he dived on north pole. Imagine that.
As You can all see i'm a beginner in this sport so i'm just gathering information. My static time is 3:20. I know that is far from imperssive but i'm trying
My training takes place in dubrovnik. maybe you have heard about it.

Please contact me for any information that will lead to my improvement.


I thank you in advance.


c you all

Hey kike,

I have been away a couple of days preparing for the wrath of a hurricane, but I just logged on and saw that you just posted.

The important thing to consider is the context of words. As long as it is your name there is no problem. If you were an american and you chose "kike" as some type of joking log in name, then that would not have been right.

I still laugh my head off that there is a place named (and this is no joke), "F#####g, Austria"!!!! rofl

So tell us about diving in Croatia................

 

[kike]

Man, what to say about that. Austria is a small country near Croatia. Many of them visit Croatia in summer. And the tragic thing is they come here to scuba dive and many of them died along the coast of Adriatic sea. Bad education by their instructors.
diving in Croatia is great. The sea is so clean, although a little cold for my taste. The good thing is that there is not so many sharks there yet. But not long ago i've read an article that is only a matter of time before great white one appears. Sorry for my spelling.
I've saw on the news about Wilma. How is the situation there.
