NoTanx, the club, was started in 1999 in london by Marcus Greatwood who saw the need for a community based club. this grew quickly encompassing the philosophy of enjoyment being the goal, rather than chasing numbers.

The training system was formalised and completed in 2007 based on Loic Lerferme’s (marcus’s mentor) ideas. the NT system is a complete training system with Techniques that start with awareness & are suitable for everyone.The health benefits are innumerable, our techniques can relieve asthma, stress and panic attacks. we have run hundreds of courses at all levels and qualified well over 2000 students.

This has lead to a lot of exploration freediving (both in the UK and abroad) as well as running over 40 AIDA competitions.
We now have branches in Surrey, brighton & colchester as well as london.

Over the past 25 years we have introduced over 2000 people to the beauty of diving on a single breath, sent 14 members to the world championships & set 14 national records.
In 2024 we have run

5 UK holidays
500 pool sessions
