Competitive Diving: Precision, Acrobatics, and Aquatic Entry
Welcome to the definitive source for Competitive Diving, the spectacular aquatic sport that blends aerial acrobatics, physics, and intense focus. Divers execute complex flips, twists, and entries from various heights, striving for minimal splash and maximum score. This category covers everything from foundational techniques to the high-stakes final dives in international and Olympic competition.
Our category is structured around the two primary competitive environments that define the sport:
Springboard & Technical Diving: This section focuses on the 1-meter and 3-meter boards, emphasizing the technical mastery of the spring mechanism to control height, rotation, and speed. Learn the different dive groups (forward, backward, reverse, inward, twist) and the crucial techniques for executing a vertical, splash-free entry.
Platform & Synchronized Diving: This discipline explores the high boards (up to 10-meter), demanding immense courage, spatial awareness, and aerial control. We cover the specific rules and judging criteria for synchronized diving (where pairs must execute identical dives simultaneously) and the progression required to master the highest degree of difficulty dives.
