Masters Diving programs

Question
I am interested in getting back into diving and competing at a Masters level, but I'm having a problem locating a coach or a diving location in my area (Utah County, Utah). Also, I don't have any idea where to start on getting into a masters program for diving.  Anything you can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-Jared

I went to Google maps to find where Utah County is and see that it is in or near Provo. The person who can help you the most is Keith Russell, the diving coach at BYU. Do an Internet search for their athletic department and you can find his contact info there under men's and women's swimming and diving. I do not know if he has a program for non student adults but he may know of someone who does.

Also try www.mastersdiving.org. It is a website dedicated to people like yourself. On the left hand side of homepage, click on message board. Post a message and see if any one knows of a diving coach or diving pool near where you live. There is not much diving in general in Utah except for high school and college so that is where you will have to search for coaches/pools.

Other diving websites to try are:

www.usadiving.org

www.aaudiving.org

www.diving.about.com

www.usadiver.com

www.flipnrip.com

www.divemeets.com

Good luck in your search.
