DiveMeets Experts & Legends
 
Information Page

 

Diving is a wonderful sport. It is a sport many people support for a life time. In many ways diving is a small close knit community. At almost any meet you will find coaches, judges or meet officials who are a who's who in the sport. We have been at small invitational meets where many of the divers and parents are unaware that one or more of coaches are past Olympians. They may not know some of the meet officials also manage some of the world's largest meets. They may not realize a judge at this small invite has also judged at Nationals, Olympic Trials, NCAA Championships or major international meets. Past diving greats may show up at any meet. We remember a meet in Mission Viejo where the parents of a JO diver had no idea they were sitting in the stands next to Greg Louganis

The sport of Diving has a rich history and many of the people who have contributed to that history are still in the sport. DiveMeets is fortunate to work with many of the world's top diving experts, people who represent many deferent diving organizations and nationalities. Over the years these people have written numerous diving articles. Unfortunately many of these articles are lost; scattered across the Internet and discarded magazines. In 2009 we decided create a single place where future articles can be published and archived. The project is called "Experts & Legends"

This exciting project is very much a work in progress. The goal is to catalog memories, opinions, comments, articles, photos and videos many of the best and most knowledgeable people in the sport of Diving.

As we develop this archive we will no doubt organize and then reorganize the format. The goal is to build a wonderful reference source for future generations of divers.

How can you take part? Right now we are collecting Pre-1990 photos, videos and written memories from divers, coaches, judges and parents. Please e-mail pjackman@meetcontrol.com for additional information.
