"Salut" from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where freediving is alive!

[Le General]

Hello everybody,

I am the current president of a freediving club base in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Our web site is CASM : Club d'Apnée Sportive de Montréal - Montreal Freedivind Club We offer freediving courses and training during the indoor season and organize activities for our members year round. We also have a regional freediving competition that we host every spring. We have over 40 freedivers in the club and still growing! Our main philosophy is to develop the sport from the base by having a large group of freedivers from all ages and with a passion from the sport. Let us know if you come in our neighborhood, we are always happy to welcome freedivers from allover.

Welcome to DB, General Leduc!

Hope you enjoy your time here! I really like your screen-name. I wish I had thought of that...

Best cheers,

Salut le General, and welcome on DB! CASM and some videos from your website were already in the Freediving Media Base, but if you wish to add others, or want to modify the descriptions of the present ones (or adding bilingual texts), feel free doing so: http://apnea.cz/?CASM

There is also a separate category for Freediving courses where there are currently almost 40 different courses worldwide listed. Yours are not there, but feel free to add them to the database, if you are looking for some additional exposure.

When you add descriptions, you can do it bilingually - just enclose the language versions of the text in tag pairs: <EN>here is your English text</EN> and <FR>et ça s'est la version française</FR>. In this way each visitor will get to see it in his/her preferred language. The French (and francophone) user base is the most important of all - by distance ahead of any other nation, though on the other hand, English is mostly the preferred language in all other lands, so both languages are about equally important on freediving websites looking for global audience.

Bonjour LE General, I'm a brand new enthusiast to freediving, but full on passion to training in it. So from what i understand courses in Montreal can only be taken in September at CASM?.. is there anywhere else i can start training meanwhile? If not, is there a pool you can recommend where there is alocated space to start freediving (all Ive done so far is purchased books on the sport) and i have scuba dived 3 times. Excuse the long post.
Any guidance will be appreciated.

Is CASM still alive and well? I'm from Vermont and this appears to be the closest group to me. I would love to find a group to join as I continue to become more obsessed with this sport.
