Portugal, new rules of diving

Hi all, just to say that now it's not illegal to dive with a rebreather or beyond 40meters. Oh, or even with Tx!!! Weeee!

Already in Portugal I was asked by a giant Maritime Police to show my C cards, log book, driving license and *tank papers*... I do not want to imagine any legal problem with licenses there ;-))
