A big thank you again must go to our 2023 sponsors for their continued support enabling our divers to travel to these events in England.
All the divers should be proud of themselves for competing so well. It was a very uncomfortable journey with an early start on both days and a lot of waiting in an exceptionally hot pool environment. Well done everyone!
