NOTE: The diving skills listed for this Learn to Dive program are presented in a logical order based on degree of difficulty. Due to the individual nature of divers the instructor may teach his or her divers new dives in a slightly different order from the one indicated. The divers must be able to preform all skills in the Bronze, Silver and Gold of a particular level in order to complete that level. All merit dives are performed from the three meter springboard and are therefore optional.
