 There are two springboards: a 1-meter and a 3-meter.

There are three platforms: a 5-meter, a 7.5-meter,a and a 10-meter.

There are five types of dives on a springboard plus one more on a platform. They are:

  • Front

    You walk forward on the board and dive in the same direction

  • Back

    You stand on the end of the board facing it and then jump backwards and dive in the same direction

  • Inward

    You stand on the end of the board facing it then jump backwards and dive toward the board

  • Reverse

    You walk forward on the board and jump off forward and dive backwards toward the board

  • Twist

    You do any of the postions above then add some kind of twist to it

  • Armstand

    This is only on platforms. You stand on the end of it and do a handstand, then dive off from your arms

Within each direction of dive, there are four positions that can be used:

Straight

Your body long, with little or no arch, as you spin

Pike

Your body is bent in half so your arms are behind your legs and your face is by your knees

Tuck

Your knees are brought up to your chest so your head is almost between them

Free

This is only for twist dives. Your body may change positions though the dive, though it's mostly straight



Each dive has a number that identifies it. It has either three or four digits. For either front, back, reverse, or inward there are three digits. The first number indicates the direction of the dive.
        1 = Front
        2 = Back
        3 = Reverse
        4 = Inward
In these four categories the middle digit is always 0. The third digit indicates the number of half somersaults. All odd numbers are going into the water head first, even number dives are feet first. 
        1 = Dive
        2 = One somersault
        3 = One somersault plus a half
        4 = Two somersaults
        5 = Two somersaults plus a half
          Etc.
To indicate what position each dive will be in there is a letter at the end of the digits. 
        A = Straight
        B = Pike
        C = Tuck
        D = Free
For the twist dives and the armstand dives, there are four numbers. The first indicates which one it is. 
        5 = Twisting dive
        6 = Armstand dive
The second one is the direction (same as above). The third number is the number of half somersaults (same as above) and the fourth number is the number of half twists. 
        1 = One half twist
        2 = One full twist
        3 = One and a half twists
        4 = Two full twists
          Etc.
So now you know how to tell which dive it is by the number. 
     103B = Front one and a half, pike
    5122D = Front one somersault with one full twist, free
     401C = Inward dive, tuck
     302B = Reverse somersault, pike
     202A = Back somersault, straight
    6231D = Back armstand one and a half somersaults with a half twist, free
