We could really use your help!<\/h2>\n<p>The diving table isn&#8217;t exactly the the most desired place to be, but we always appreciate when people are willing to help. Because people know so little about diving and because they automatically assume it is incredibly complicated and hard to follow, they are less inclined to help us out! But don&#8217;t be deterred, because we really need you! The diving world is small in and of itself, so sometimes we need help from the rest of the aquatic world &#8211; or even the non-aquatic world &#8211; to get us through.<\/p>\n<h2>2.

You&#8217;ll know that 303C means reverse one and half and you&#8217;ll know that 5233D means back one and a half with one and a half twists. You&#8217;ll understand what the degree of difficulty means and learn that something that has a DD of 2.8 is pretty impressive. What can you do with all of this new information? Well, first, it&#8217;ll give you a new appreciation for and understanding of the sport, but now you can also explain diving to all the people in your life who didn&#8217;t understand it before.<\/p>\n<h2>3.

The skill it takes to do most of those dives is incredibly impressive and it&#8217;s always great to be able to sit there and appreciate the beauty of those dives. Sometimes, there&#8217;s nothing more entertaining than sitting there, being able to watch divers throw big dives, nail the entries, and score 6&#8217;s, 7&#8217;s, and even 8&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>As a diver, I would like to thank all of the coaches, parents, officials, former divers, random people who were picked up off the deck, and whoever else for volunteering and working at the diving table at all the meets around the country &#8211; without all of you, dive meets would not run smoothly, or even at all.
