Murat, you have to understand that when you DO post something that ISN'T true, many of us feel responsible to correct you. I can see how you take this as "unfriendly" but you have to consider the amount of experience and maturity(age) that exists on this forum. Posing as an experienced diver to those naive to the sport is just downright dangerous. Experience does not come from "books" or written material, but rather practice. And, when you read things such as posts on the Freediving Forums and try to insinuate that is how it's done for spearfishermen too, you're going to irritate a lot of members here. Please remember, we are not Freedivers and should never train like one unless we're always in the company of a competant spotter and scuba support. In most instances for us, this is not the case.
Freedive spearfishing is not a club, there is no hierarchy. It is just a group of people that enjoy a common interest. And for you to say that this forum lacks hospitality for "non-US divers" is just rediculous. Some of the best divers in the world are European and many of them are my friends. So, please try to avoid crapping on the plate you're so eager to eat off of every day.

Lately there is a grouping of european divers.I feel them more close to me. They just simply does not judge your every comment wheather its true or not.
