Hey everyone,

A short one on the * and ** courses Andreas Falkenroth and special guest held on May 17th and 18th in Lindau, Germany.

Rbsub and his wife came over stay in Konstanz and used our flat as their homebase for their stay by the lake in exchange for a ride for me to and from the course on Friday, so on Wednesday evening, we were three divers having a chance for the usual chatter amongst people who haven't been diving for far too long... :)
The * course was extremely unlucky with a bad, bad, bad rainy Thursday that left everyone cold and miserable, even though the course itself was good, reportedly, the cold and rain managed to spoil some of it.
I was only booked for the **-class on Friday and could enjoy a sunny day that was as I would expect a freediving course to be.
Lots of PBs were set, (STA and CWF for me) and it was good fun!
Andreas' special guest and co-trainer turned out to be Katja Kedenburg, so we even had a chance to meet another celebrity there! :D
After the course, Katja hitched a ride with rbsub & co. and came over to Konstanz for a short morning dive the next day before taking off with them.
Even though we had to struggle out of bed on Saturday :hungover, the day turned out to be glorious - only the fish slept in and missed as great a morning as Katja had ever seen over the lake. It's a good thing, Katja, that we got a chance to brighten up Your picture of the lake. :)

rbsub took some really great pictures. He's in Sardegna right now (poor fella :t ), so I'll take the liberty of posting them for him :D

The pictures:
- rbsub's wife Judith on Friday during the static session with Katja
- Katja and Sanso in Konstanz the next day
- right to left: Judith, Katja, Sanso before the morning dive
- Sanso's first time with Katja's mono. With any mono, actually - How much fun!!
- Katja, happy to be under water without fin(s).

Rbsub, You'll have to post a reply here, so people can give You rep for these pictures! :D

There are some more, moderately interesting, pictures in my flickr set on diving. - I only started taking pictures after the pool and lake sessions, no fancy underwater housing here..

Hey there fellow freediver :wave
It seems you had a really nice time with all these fine people. I hope we will have good weather for the summer jam. I completly fell for CW diving last Sunday as I dove to 20m for the first time :), so i look forward to our next meeting with graet enthusiasm.
