The Sporttaucher Breisach invited us to the High Black Forest for their 40th anniversary. We gladly accepted the invitation, already suspecting that it would be a "full day with an encore":
Friday morning was dedicated entirely to local schools. At eight o'clock sharp, 340 pupils from the neighbouring Gymnasium surprised us and stormed the Breisach town hall. The mayor also attended. After 90 minutes, it was clear: marine conservation is human conservation. It can only succeed by considering future generations.
This was followed by two further school lectures for the Gemeinschaftsschule and the Hauptschule Breisach.
Three schools, three lectures, a good 450 pupils in the morning - the subsequent breathing space for our two speakers, Rike and Steffi, was necessary before the major ElasmOcean lecture on marine conservation for adults concluded Friday evening, as an encore to the triple jump.
On Saturday, the second encore followed: together with the entire sport diving club, various evening guests, and freediver and world record holder Nik Linder, we held a workshop on "Diving with Sharks" for the club's anniversary and presented our association in more detail. Nik Linder took over and spoke about his life as a freediver (for example, he dived all the way around Lake Constance two years ago). In his personable and engaging manner, he taught freediving techniques and his Relaqua relaxation concept.
A very fine, full, demanding, and inspiring weekend. Our thanks go to the Sporttaucher Breisach (above all Ulrich Glockner); we had a great deal of fun with you! We will return for the 50th!
