Welcome to Canterbury Diving
A place to jump, grow, and belong, both in and out of the water
Canterbury Diving offers inclusive, community-focused diving programmes for tamariki, rangatahi, and adults of all abilities. Whether you are building deep-water confidence, learning a Manu or bomb, or working towards high-performance goals, we support you at every stage.
Led by Olympic coach Steve Gladding and Olympian Monique Gladding, our experienced team creates a safe and supportive environment where participants can enjoy diving, develop skills, and progress through clear pathways, from first-time jumpers to world-class athletes.
