ask around at your local swimming pool.. they should know.

Answer 3

I would think there is some type of "official" website for diving in Australia.  [In the US it's USADiving.org.]  Perhaps a search for "diving clubs" would bring it up.

In any case, you wouldn't be starting out with platform diving.  Learning to dive begins with the 1-meter board, then the 3-meter board.  Once a diver has learned the basics on the springboard, he or she MAY advance to the lower-level platforms [depending on the facility, there may be 3-, 5- or 10-meter platforms] and then work up to the higher ones.

Answer 4

Wherever you are, learn it from the Swimming Club....but choose one with the best coach in town.  Brisbane is a coastal city so where is the problem, just look & ask around.
