Armada Cup 2025

In February, Aberdeen Diving Club took a team of 15 divers on the long journey down to Plymouth for the Armada Cup 2025. This event has both Age Group and Elite competitions, with 10 of our ADC divers in the age group events, and 5 in elites.

This is a great competition for the divers to practice/qualify for either the National Age Group Championships later in summer or the Aquatics GB Junior Elite Championships held in April.

This was a 4 day long competition, with over 250 participants from 19 clubs across the country. The divers all behaved beautifully, managing exceptionally long 12-hour days at the pool. Their hard work, dedication and teamwork was a credit to the club.
