Diving.
Perhaps not what you would consider an extreme action sport, but nevertheless
good fun and as it can get the adrenaline going when you meet a
big shark, your air cuts out, or you have put too much led on your weight
belt. So we have included it here on Willerup.com.
Frederik started diving when he was 12 years old in the proud Danish diving club called Søllerød Sports diving Club. Here he spent his time with various free dives in the waters around North Sealand going to 10 meters in the age of 15. As the years passed Frederik turned his diving and swimming talents towards underwater rugby and played in Skovshoved Undervands Gruppe (Forest-head Underwater Group - SUG) until he left to Bristol in '92.
Mathias
joined the SUG when he was 20 and was dragged around to several lung shredding,
breath exhausting, leg cramping competetions around the north of Sealand.
We played in division two and was comfortable in the middle of the teams.
Division one was dominated by teams from the Danish Police Squad (serious
guys) and other hard-core guys so you wouldn't want to mess with them.
Anyway - Mathias stopped when he went to Bristol in '95 and has only played
once since. It is an amazingly hard-core team-sport with the occasional
black out and people needing CPR... Never happened while we played though.
Luckily.
Scuba diving entered the scene in '96 when Frederik took his NAUI certificate and in '97 when Mathias got his PADI in Bali.
