High Diving
With the sport of high diving rapidly expanding in popularity en-route to becoming an Olympic event in 2028, we are beyond excited to usher in a new era of high diving in the United States here at the Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Center. The addition of the 15, 20, 24, & 27 meter platforms to an already iconic diving location makes Fort Lauderdale an ideal high diving destination and the only facility of its kind in the Western Hemisphere.
With safety as our guiding principle, our goal is to create a competitive, healthy, fun environment where athletes of all skill levels can safely and successfully challenge their mental and physical limits through the sport of high diving. We are thrilled with the many possibilities for high diving programming and look forward to offering camps & clinics, group lessons, private lessons, competitions and much more in the future as we continue to grow and realize the full potential of this world class facility.

"I have personally known Dave Burgering for the last fifteen years and can't say enough good things about him as a world class diving coach, motivator, and mentor. Dave has played many roles in my life through the years--the obvious one is that of a great coach and mentor....but Dave is much more then that to me he is also a second father and one of the very first people to this day who I pick up the phone to call and share adversities and triumphs."

"My daughter has been diving with Dave Burgering since age 9. She is now a freshman athlete at the University of Alabama. Dave Burgering taught her the skills she needed to be successful on the college level. I have found him to have a vast knowledge of the sport as well as compassion for all of his athletes. He has brought much success to the Fort Lauderdale dive team as a sincere, dedicated coach who is always willing to go the extra mile for his athletes."
