Clubs
Dive Ontario is comprised of 10 clubs, 1 Academy and numerous affiliates, all of which offer diving programs to new and seasoned divers. From Learn to Dive to High Performance Competitive, there are programs for everyone.
Our diving clubs are distributed across the province and offer diving programs for every level. Our clubs can be found from as far north as Thunder Bay to the south in Windsor, Ontario. Affiliate programs are offered through local community and university pools who have both diving boards and Dive Ontario trained instructors. Affiliate programs are a great way to introduce beginner divers to this exciting sport.
Competitive divers showcase their skills during dive meets, which are held annually and hosted by different clubs. Competitive diving is comprised of two levels, Tier I & Aspire. Competitions for each level are held separately. The Competitive meet season runs from November to June, and is finished with Tier I & Aspire Provincials.
Many Municipalities offer Learn to Dive programs, run in their pools across the province. These programs are great for the beginner diver, just new to the sport.
Ontario’s diving clubs are constantly improving at all levels and we are very excited about what the future holds for our divers, clubs and affiliates.
