We send a huge well done to all the divers who’ve shown great composure over the 3 days, with strong focus and fantastic diving from everyone. All have plenty of positives to take away from the event.

Coaches and club say a huge thank you and well done to all the parents and siblings for the support! It was a long weekend and lovely to see the divers persevere in their own events and also staying on to support their teammates. Several coaches mentioned how good the Albatross support was, which was lovely to hear 🙂

Our thanks to Charlie and Hernan for their unfailing support and to Matt for coming to support the judging. Our thanks too to our hosts Southampton Diving Academy.
