It is an achievement in itself just to qualify for this competition and divers work hard all year to take part. Attending other competitions across the country in order to qualify is made possible by the support of Pilkington Estates.

Seth Greentree, Plymouth Diving’s youngest and only group D diver, entered all three individual boards. At his first NAGS, Seth achieved incredible results finishing sixth on 1m, fourth on platform and taking a bronze medal for 3m.

If this wasn’t enough, Seth teamed up with group C diver Harry Westbury where the successful pairing were adorned with a silver medal. Harry also achieved a top six finish on the 1m board and joined fellow group C diver Isaac Ide on the 3m and platform where they achieved consistent scores.
