DIVE HARROGATE
A friendly and welcoming diving club based in Harrogate, come dive into a world of opportunities with us.



Get to Know Us
Harrogate District Diving Club (HDDC) was established in 1999, and is a friendly and welcoming community, bringing together divers of all ages and abilities who share a passion for springboard diving.
The club has a proud history of nurturing talent, including Olympic divers Jack Laugher and Oliver Dingley. Their journeys continue to inspire young divers across the region, showing what can be achieved through hard work, dedication, and a love for the sport.
Our club focuses on developing confidence, technique, and enjoyment in a safe and supportive environment. Our coaches help divers build strong fundamentals, progress their skills to competition entry if desired, and most importantly, have fun along the way.
As a grassroots club we have the ability to take divers from age 6 and remains the only diving club to offer a dedicated programme for disabled divers.
In 2024 we were awarded the Swim England North East Regional Club of the Year, and we continue to grow from strength to strength
Whether members are taking their first steps onto the board or working towards competitions, we aim to create an atmosphere where everyone feels encouraged, challenged, and proud to be part of a growing Yorkshire diving community.
