Not being able to get air at height, loosing coordination or risking 
unconsciousness because of lack of oxygen, risking death by 
hypothermia, getting lost or falling is just as physiological as any
problem caused by deep diving according to me.

At *this* level, neither of these two activities can be called 
"sportive", IMO.
