Introduction

Dive Neptune is for the new and experienced competitive diver to learn and advance their techniques at all levels of dive. We want to make this a great experience for you and your diver.

Dive Neptune is primarily a 1-meter, age group team providing individual and synchronized dive experience. We encourage and prepare competitors for the AIA High School Diving and compete vigorously in USD, AAU and local Recreational diving competitions throughout the dive season.
