birthday comp
pool competition every march
The Birthday Comp is a weekend of pool competition fun, held every year over a weekend in mid-march.
Everybody is welcome, and it’s designed for all experience levels to enter and enjoy - beginners especially!
There are 3 individual competitions (dynamic no fins, dynamic fins and statics), and 3 prizes for the best dives.
Saturday is the day for no-fins enthusiasts, and Sunday is our main event.
Our 2025 competition dates will be confirmed at the end of the year, and will be able to book your spot then!
Open to all, NoTanx club members get a discounted entry fee.

DIVING IN POOLS IS A GREAT WAY TO LEARN ASPECTS OF FREEDIVING TECHNIQUE AND BOND WITH FELLOW ENTHUSIASTS ALL YEAR ROUND…
BUT LET’S FACE IT, THERE’S NOTHING QUITE LIKE FREEDIVING OUTSIDE!
Throughout the warm(er) months, we organise regular trips to Vobster Quay (Somerset) and Wraysbury Dive Centre (Middlesex), our favourite locations for getting out into open water environments. These outings are opportunities to get Open Water qualified (visit our Courses page), and if you are already qualified you are welcome to come along, join in the dives, get coaching from the instructors or just hang out and enjoy the sun (sun not guaranteed).
We go to Wraysbury once a month through the summer, and Vobster Quay 2 or 3 times a year.
