restricted to 20 meters, in line with other international
competitions. Divers also performed from 10 and

were two divisions this year with an Open division
for adults and a Junior division for 8-16 year
olds, attracting a total of 19 divers. Competitors
enthralled spectators as they plunged from the high
platform, adding some fancy and well executed dive
maneuvers along the way.
