The atmosphere at the 2009 Metropolitan Diving Championships was intense as divers competed doing aerial stunts from the springboards.
The event was held at Sydney Olympic Park. Aside from the various mens and womens diving contests teams for the Fisher & Paykel 2009 Asia Pacific Rim Junior Diving Invitational were selected.
The team from Perfect 10 should be very proud of their competitors, many of whom took home first place and were selected to represent in the up-coming Fisher & Paykel Junior Invitational.
In the 14 years and over girls Jordan Callaghan and Genevieve De La Motte ended with a final score which was more than 30 points higher than any other team.
Rachel Bugg and Alex Croak, from Diving South Australia also scored very highly in the open over 3m synchronised events.
