The club's mission is to develop successful divers and coaches at all levels and to grow the sport of diving in New Zealand.

Why Dive?

Diving is a great sport for kids of all ages. It helps to develop balance, agility, concentration, core strength, spacial awareness, timing and determination.

Divers learn these skills through a wide range of training environments, including landwork to build core strength and basic skills, trampolining and "dry boards" to develop aerial skills in a controlled environment, and gym work for a range of general strength and flexibility skills. It's a demanding sport that creates lasting life-long value.

Training Times

The club has a range of squads and training times. You can see the details on the "Training Calendar" link on the left.

24 Oct 2010: We just celebrated Wellington Diving's 20th anniversary! See our "About Us" page to find out a bit more about the club's achievements over the years.
