Loads of Opportunities at Diving WA in 2026
2026 marks an exciting new chapter for Diving WA, with renewed values and a growing suite of programs and events now available right across the year.
Whether you’re discovering diving for the first time, returning to the pool, or looking for a fun and active way to connect as a family, there have never been more opportunities to get involved.
Programs in 2026: Accessible, Flexible and Built for Everyone
Our 2026 programs have been designed to make diving approachable, enjoyable and rewarding for participants of all ages and backgrounds. With multiple entry points and flexible options, it’s easy to find a program that fits your goals and lifestyle.
Mini Divers
Created specifically for younger children, Mini Divers introduces movement, balance and basic diving skills through games and play-based learning in our Dryland Centre. Sessions prioritise fun, confidence and safe exploration, laying the foundations for future participation in the sport.
Learn to Dive
The gateway into the sport. Learn to Dive focuses on building confidence, water safety, coordination and fundamental diving skills in a fun and supportive environment. No prior diving experience is required, making it the perfect starting point for new participants.
Family Splash
One of our most accessible and family-friendly offerings, Family Splash provides a shared diving experience for parents, carers and children. Designed to be fun, active and engaging, these sessions encourage connection, confidence and movement together in a relaxed, low-pressure setting.
Introductory Teens and Adults
A flexible and welcoming option for teens and adults who are new to diving, returning after time away, or simply looking for a fun and active challenge. Participants can progress at their own pace while enjoying a social and supportive training environment.
Personalised Coaching Sessions
Book 1:1 or small-group coaching with accredited Diving WA coaches. These sessions are ideal for skill development, confidence building or targeted progression, tailored to individual goals.
Our Values: The Foundation Behind Everything We Do
Supporting our expanded program and events offering is a renewed and deliberate commitment to culture.
Diving WA’s refreshed values - Respect, Empowerment and Excellence - guide how programs are delivered, how events are run and how we engage with each other as a community. These values ensure every participant, regardless of age, experience or ability, feels supported, challenged and welcomed.
Additional Events and Programs
Alongside our new or rebranded programs, 2026 features a range of continuing programs, competitions and education opportunities that bring the diving community together. These include competitions, education sessions and engagement opportunities that support participation, learning and connection, whether you’re poolside as an athlete, parent, coach or supporter.
