Intermediate Team
Advanced Dives plus Basic Twisting
Intermediate team divers must perform all skills for this level before advancing to the next level. Intermediate Team divers will learn ADVANCED DIVES PLUS BASIC TWISTING.
At times divers will learn skills out of order. Many divers will learn 5122 (front somersault full twist) before they learn a 301B (reverse dive pike). It’s OK. You might also complete the first 2 levels on 1 meter before you have any 3 meter certificates. That’s OK! We will keep encouraging and challenging you to improve your 3 meter skills. It’s really up to you to decide when you’re ready!
