The New Diving Awards
Recent revisions and changes to the ASA Diving Awards have been causing some confusion.
Previously the awards were in Grades, they are now in Levels, which no longer have poolside or board skills as they have all been rolled into one.
The first badges awarded for diving under the old system were preliminary, grades 1 & 2, these now fall under the Flip n Fun badge scheme, which sits in stages 8-10 within the new National Plan, therefore you will need to refer to this for your learner/beginner divers.
The New Diving Awards begin from the old grade 3, which is now the New Level 1 and so on. They have all been revised with some changes to the skills, to ensure the scheme falls in line with the new competition structure for diving. Once all 7 levels have been completed participants are ready to compete should they wish to do so.
Clubs are advised to carry on with the old awards until such a time as they need to order new stock when they should switch to the New Awards. The Awards centre has a limited amount of old stock which will be phased out.
