Shark Freediving

From August 30th to September 6th CMAS will organize their first European Apnea Championship in Antalya, Turkey. They will be hosting this competition with 3 different disciplines. First the jump blue, then a dynamic competition and lastly a new experimental speed apnea discipline.

For the people who forgot about CMAS and their intentions to take over the freediving world; everybody is invited to join this competition but if you compete here you need to know that you sell your soul to the devil, because after this it’s forever forbidden to participate in an AIDA competition. You see CMAS has some crazy rule that the only federation that you can freedive with is their own Uber organization. If you still dare to compete with the dark force that is called AIDA then you will be banned from CMAS. Now that’s what I call customer binding!

As most freedivers live up to their name and they want to be free, they mostly ignore this competition. For sure the top freedivers from AIDA will not be there and the level of freediving going on at a CMAS world champion competition is about the same as many national AIDA competitions.

Everybody is free to do what they want, but when an organization is making such stupid rules everybody should ban this competition. Sometimes I wonder what these kind of people are thinking and it brings back memories of one of my favorite cartoons “Pinky and the Brain”
