Levels

There are 4 main levels to diving.
Level one is your basics, learning how to do the positions, I talked about in one of my other blogs, you also learn how to do the hurdles, one step and 3 step.
Level two, you throw in more flips and you start the backwards stuff, such as backwards tuck jump, where you start backwards and do either a layout or tuck or pike and you can even learn a back dive.
Level three, you start to do more than one flip at a time, with half twist thrown in there.
Level four, you do reverse dives, when you start forwards and end backwards(it's complicated I'll explain more in another blog).
There's also another un-official level, it's more like if your good, and you can do everything else your coach will throw dives at you and you keep learning the ones he/she tells you to do.
Most of the time you can tell your coach what you would like to learn, and if they feel you can succede at a dive they can help you do it.
