Diving Information - 1 Meter
During a dual meet, divers perform 6 different dives, with 1 mandatory dive and 5 optional dives.
For the mandatory dive, a different group is chosen each week of the season- see below for the
dives for each week. The degree of difficulty for the mandatory dive is limited to 1.8
For the remaining 5 optional dives, 4 of the 5 groups are required.
In Championship meets (Sectionals and States), divers are required to have 11 dives, all of
which must have been competed and qualified (scoring at least a 4.0 from all judges) during the
dual meet season.
There are 6 Dive Groups:
1. Forward Group
2. Back Group
3. Reverse Group
4. Inward Group
5. Twisting Group

Scoring
Dives are scored by multiplying the sum of the 3 judges scores by the dives degree of difficulty.
If only 2 judges are present, their combined scores will be multiplied by 1.5 and then have the
degree of difficulty applied to it. If 5 judges are present (typically only at championship meets)
the highest and lowest scores will be dropped, and the sum of the 3 remaining scores will be
used.
A dive can be "failed" if the fundamental components are not executed. A failed dive will receive
a score of 0. Two failed dives will disqualify the diver in the meet.
