FUNdamentals Coaching Accreditation

Diving Victoria is incredibly excited to announce our next FUNdamentals coaching accreditation course in Victoria, through Diving Australia.

This coaching qualification is specifically designed for brand new coaches who want to specialise in the participation level of our sport (think ‘Learn to Dive’ or ‘Dive School’) and equally, those who would like a more gradual step into the competitive space. This is the perfect way to get involved in one of Australia’s most exciting sports.

Diving Victoria is keen to use this qualification to bring a new wave of coaches to our sport, who will support our goal of increasing participation in Victoria.
