Dive Sheets & Entries

Important Information

Dive sheets are only required for Level 6 and above.

  • Every event entered must also be registered separately via the DSA online registration system
  • Submitting a dive sheet alone is not considered a valid competition entry
  • Invalid or incomplete entries may be removed from the system

Example

  • Level 6 Platform = one entry
  • Level 7 3m Springboard = separate entry

Both require separate registrations.

An important note:

If dive sheets have not been submitted by the deadline, a $20 late fee will be applicable to each dive sheet to be entered. These dive sheets must be submitted manually, and cannot be entered into Dive Recorder or hand-written on printed dive sheets. Dive sheets entered before the deadline can still have changes applied up until 36 hours before the commencement of the event.


National Qualification Age Groups

To qualify for 2027 Junior and Skills National events and 2027 Age National or Open event, divers must compete in their correct age group within the competition year.

Age groups are determined by the diver’s age on 31 December in the year of the National event.

Example

An Age Group diver born on 10 September 2010 will be 17 years old on 31 December 2027 and must therefore compete in the 16–18 age group.
