Six types of dives are used in springboard and platform diving. Four of these involve somersaulting either toward or away from the diving board or platform.
Forward - diver faces the front of the board and rotates toward the water.
Backward - diver begins on the end of the board with back to the water
Reverse - Formerly called "gainers" diver faces the front of the board and rotating toward the board.
Inward - Formerly called "cutaways" diver stands on the end of the board with back to the water and rotates toward the board.
Twisting - Any dive that uses a twist
Armstand - diver assumes a handstand position on the edge of the platform before executing the dive
During the flight of the dive, one of four positions is assumed. These positions are referred to by the letters A, B,C and D respectively.
