Every Year since 2005, NoTanx have run a Freediving Comp in Vobster Quay. It has grown, now taking place over 2 days.

This is a fun comp and not planned as an AIDA ranking event, but AIDA rules do apply.
*Everybody* can join in with us, not just club members!

There are 3 different "disciplines":

- The depth comp (CWT, FIM, CNF, Freestyle, Max. 28 m, unless you want to take a mud bath, though I hear it's good for your skin)
- Team static
- Guess your depth

The NoTanx philosophy is based on personal enjoyment and experience rather than performance... (enjoyment rather than depth) so it is only right that the winner is voted on by the other competitors.

So it is "The Best Dive" rather than the deepest that will win.

This year 1st Prize = an all expenses paid Summer Vacation to Marsa Alam!!!! (Courtesy of Oonas Divers)

With 50 spaces for freedivers and various other activities, this year is even more of a spectator event. Reserve your space via our website. :o)

Coming back from Greece late on the 16th so will be tough to make it to Vobster for the next morning but will try my best!

Besides, might be good if I'm not there, let someone else win at 'guess your depth' :-p

I guessed my depth quite well, I knew I was too deep when my hand hit the thermocline. Perhaps I should find out how to swim backwards, that might have saved it!!
 
Lol - just stop swimming a couple of metres before the target depth and then hang on to the rope and descend slowly. That's what I did - it helps because as you say, if you overshoot the depth then there's no way of undoing it...

Really hope I'll be able to make it...
