Update:
Instead
of
dealing
with
my
criticism
objectively,
they
decided
to
hire
a
lawyer
to
force
me
to
delete
this
review
under
the
threat
of
a
lawsuit.
Of
course,
since
I
was
able
to
provide
evidence,
this
review
remains
visible
and
I
never
heard
from
the
attorney
again.
If
the
text
below
evaluating
my
course
isn't
warning
enough
for
you,
you
should
think
three
times
about
whether
you
really
want
to
give
money
to
a
company
that
uses
such
practices.
Really
bad
trick.
The
review
refers
to
the
basic
freediving
course
that
I
took
here
in
2019
-
of
course
I
don't
know
whether
anything
has
changed
since
then.
I
have
now
completed
an
AIDA
2
course
somewhere
else
and
can
understand
the
whole
thing
better.
At
that
time
the
course
cost
€225,
but
it
is
now
€320.
A
clean
increase
of
almost
+50%
in
four
years
-
and
that
with
a
group
of
6
participants
per
instructor
that
is
already
far
too
large.
At
that
time
we
were
12
participants
with
2
instructors.
Of
course
it's
great
business
for
the
diving
school,
but
for
the
participants
this
means
catering
to
individual
needs
-
none
of
it.
For
the
hefty
price
you
don't
even
get
freediving
equipment.
There
was
a
normal
wetsuit
and
fins.
Strange
start
into
the
world
of
freediving,
but
of
course
financially
the
cheaper
option
for
the
diving
school.
Anyone
who
has
ever
used
fins
for
freediving
knows
that
it
is
a
completely
different
world.
Unfortunately,
I
can't
say
enough
about
the
course
philosophy
either.
Everything
gave
you
the
feeling
that
freediving
is
about
forcing
your
body
to
perform.
The
most
important
aspect,
mental
stress,
was
completely
ignored.
I
told
my
AIDA
instructor
about
the
course
and
he
was
downright
shocked.
The
breathing
techniques
that
I
learned
from
the
AIDA
course
were
mostly
not
used
here
at
all.
Especially
the
preparation
and
relaxation
in
the
water
shortly
before
diving.
In
the
end,
there
was
no
training
at
all
on
the
subject
of
dynamic,
but
there
weren't
any
proper
fins
either.
On
the
second
day
we
went
to
Lake
Starnberg
-
of
course
the
diving
school
can't
do
anything
about
that,
but
I
recommend
every
beginner
to
take
a
course
like
this
in
warm
and
clear
water.
Diving
to
a
depth
of
at
least
10m
for
the
first
time
in
a
dark
and
cold
lake
is
a
completely
different
matter.
Now
with
the
fins
we
went
into
the
water.
Duck
Dive
was
briefly
explained
and
off
we
went.
There
wasn't
really
any
time
to
practice;
with
12
participants,
you
have
to
give
it
some
effort.
A
correct
duck
dive
in
particular
is
not
that
easy,
but
at
the
same
time
it
makes
a
huge
difference.
Everyone
in
the
course
made
it
down,
but
at
least
I
didn't
have
any
real
fun
or
relaxation.
I
just
felt
physically
under
pressure
and
“kicked
down”
as
fast
as
I
could.
I'm
sure
everyone
feels
different
there,
that's
my
subjective
experience.
After
the
course
I
got
my
card,
but
I
never
went
freediving
again,
believing
the
sport
just
wasn't
for
me.
This
year
on
vacation
I
thought
it
was
time
to
try
again.
In
a
small
group
with
only
one
other
participant,
I
finally
discovered
the
appeal
of
freediving.
The
structure
of
the
course
was
completely
different
and
the
focus
on
the
mental
aspect
of
freediving
has
meant
that
I
now
approach
it
completely
differently.
The
duck
dive
was
practiced
extensively.
There
was
no
time
pressure
and
individual
feedback
after
each
attempt.
My
performance
was
significantly
better
than
on
the
course
in
Munich
AND
it
was
fun
too.
