Equipment Diving is an inexpensive sport to get involved in, requiring only a bathing suit. Make sure your swimsuit fits snugly (women should wear a one-piece) because you don't want to lose your bathing suit when you enter the water.

Diving is a sport now over 100 years old. In the early 19th and 20th centuries diving was known as "plunging" and featured what is know known as a "Swan Dive". Later, gymnasts added twists and spins when they practised manoeuvres landing in water instead of on a wooden gym floor. Today, there are more than 70 different types of dives, organized into six different groupings: 1) forward dives, 2) back dives, 3) reverse dives, 4) inward dives, 5) twist dives, 6) armstand dives.
