Our Mission

– Transform the traditional competition diving well into a participatory attraction –

“High Diving” can be defined as any diving that happens above the standard Olympic 10 meter platform (33 feet). While there have been High Diving events for decades, it has only been in the last 10 years that High Diving has gained the competitive legitimacy required for consideration as an Olympic event. In order to meet Olympic integration criteria, the event will need to show that there are a sufficient number of athletes participating around the globe. Unlike 10 meter diving there are only a few places to practice High Diving, making it nearly impossible to meet the participation numbers needed to justify inclusion of the event into the Olympic Games.

The Diving Range initially set out to solve this problem.

In the beginning, The Diving Range was simply looking to value engineer a high diving facility to cater to athletes. In pursing this goal, a precarious financial picture of the modern competitive aquatic sports complex was revealed.

Up until now the vast majority of competitive aquatic sports complexes have been subsidized by municipalities or large institutions. This has been to the benefit of all interested parties including athletes and coaches. The results have lead to incredible increases in athletic performance over the years. However, this has created an unfortunate side effect – The costs to develop and run these facilities have increased to point that they no longer make economic sense for private investors. Even with the inclusion of “Economic Impact Formulas” and other event related revenue coming into local communities, these facilities are typically projected to lose money. Relying instead on the public good they provide to their associated communities. Among aquatic sports loss leaders, Diving tends to be the most egregious. The high costs of developing Diving Facilities and lack of return makes it extraordinarily difficult to justify the development of new High Diving facilities (even higher costs and fewer participants) within the current competitive aquatic sports complex landscape.

This business problem has paved the way for a new type of facility “The Diving Range”, a venue that has not only been value engineered, but has been purpose built to cater to guests outside of the normal competitive spectrum. By simply adding more platforms, increasing the height, and providing programing designed to teach jumping basics, The Diving Range has reshaped the traditional diving well into an attraction that allows anyone to understand their own skill level, and make a calculated decision to jump. This creates an experience that is less about elite competition and more about catering to thrill seekers looking for a new challenge. Allowing guests the opportunity to overcome fear and achieve something simple, extraordinary, and safe.
