Having a good sense of underwater navigation is a must before going for a drift dive. Night diving opens you up to a deeper, more mysterious version of the underwater world. Night dives can allow for incredible adventures like seeing glowing jellyfish, bioluminescence, and certain types of marine life that only come out in the dark.
In especially touristy spots, it will be easy to join a guided night dive tour. How deep can you go? That said, most deep dives will happen at 30 metres or more below sea level. Of course, this is no easy dive that can be done by a newbie! A deep dive requires a lot of planning, experience, and confidence. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it will be, and you must be adequately prepared beforehand.
Submerged caves can be found all over the ocean, and certain destinations are known for having particularly amazing sea caves that attract divers from all over the world. Again, this is not for the fain-thearted or claustrophobic. The last thing you want is to be in a cave or tunnel under the sea and start to feel uncomfortable or trapped, so make sure you know your skill level before attempting these dives.
The optionals come with a D. This means that a diver must select X number of dives and that the combined D. Until the mids, the tariff was decided by the FINA diving committee and divers could only select from the range of dives in the published tariff table. Since then, the tariff is calculated by a formula based on various factors, such as the number of twist and somersaults, the height, the group, and so on.
Divers are also free to submit new combinations. This change was implemented because new dives were being invented too frequently for an annual meeting to accommodate the progress of the sport. Divers face the end of the board and the water and approach the end using a forward approach and hurdle.
Once the diver reaches the end and leaves the springboard, he or she will rotate away from the diving board for as little as half of a somersault or as many as four and a half somersaults.
Examples of dives from the forward group:. Dives from the backward group are executed with the diver standing on the end of the board with their back to the water. After executing a backward press and takeoff, the diver rotates away from the springboard for as little as half of a somersault or as many as three and a half somersaults. Examples of dives from the backward group:. Also known as a "gainer," the diver faces the end of the board and the water.
After a forward approach and hurdle, the diver rotates back toward the diving board while moving forward and away from the diving board for as many as three and a half somersaults.
Examples of dives from the reverse group include:. Inward dives begin with the diver on the end of the springboard with their back to the water. The diver executes a backward press and takeoff, then rotates toward the diving board while moving away from the board for as many as three and a half somersaults. Examples of dives from the inward group include:.
Any dive that uses a twist can be considered a twisting dive. Twisting dives can be executed from the forward, back, reverse, and inward position, and can also be performed from an armstand. While many armstand dives include twists, they are not listed in the degree of difficulty table with "twisters," but grouped rather with the "armstand" category.
Examples of dives from the twisting group include:. All armstand dives are performed from the platform at five meters, seven and a half meters, or ten meters. The diver executes a handstand from the edge of the platform facing either forward their back facing the water or backward their front facing the water , and performs the dive from this starting position. The start of this type of dive begins when both diver's feet leave the platform surface. Examples of dives from the armstand group include:.

Male springboard divers — who are required to perform six dives in senior competition — perform two dives from one group in their dive list. Male platform divers perform one dive from each of the six groups in their list while female platform divers choose one dive from five of the six groups.
The character of the diving positions and the number of the dive group are used to produce codes to represent each dive. Forward, backward, reverse and inward dives are represented by four-character codes while twisting dives have a five-character code and armstand dives can have either.
Platform and springboard diving positions and groups March 17, Diving positions for platform and springboard diving are based on four distinct shapes.
