Now in its 31st year, the USA Diving Grand Prix is one of the most prestigious diving events in the world & regularly draws top international athletes, Olympic and World champions. This star-studded event, is a glimpse of the future gold medal winners of the 2000 Olympic Games in Australia.

How to see Olympic Divers on a Budget.

It's not the Olympics but it's the Olympic Divers. Up close and personal.

If you have not got your tickets for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, here’s the next best thing.  The USA /FINA Grand Prix is the last major event before the Olympics.  The world’s best divers and coaches will be there.  See current and future gold medallists compete.  Several countries will be using this event for their Olympic Trials.  The Fort Lauderdale Hall of Fame Pool offers an intimate setting where you can be close to the competition and have excellent seating (comparable seating at the Olympics would cost thousands of dollars).

For divers and coaches, all the practice sessions are open.  It is a great chance to watch, learn and videotape the world’s best divers as they peak in an Olympic year.  It’s a great experience for an age group team.

USAdiving.com has done all the work for you and your team.  We have reserved a block of rooms at the Bahia Cabana and we have also set up some discount airfares (with Two Rivers Travel for those who wish to book the old fashioned way with a travel agent).  When booking rooms, ask for the USAdiving.com rate. When making plane reservations, ask for Claudette and the USAdiving.com discount rate to Fort Lauderdale. We even got special seating

The Bahia Cabana is across the street from the beach and a 5-minute walk to the Hall of Fame pool.  If you are coming down as an individual, all you need to do is take a taxi from the airport ($14.00), and with everything you need within walking distance, there is no need rent a car.  The Bahia Cabana offers a great dockside restaurant/bar, large Jacuzzi, and you can even see the 10-meter tower from the dock. 

Age Group Teams

USAdiving.com encourages coaches to bring their teams down to watch this pre Olympic event.  Four divers in a room brings the cost down. How much enthusiasm will your team come home with? How much will your team learn by watching? It’s a great chance for teams to see the world’s best divers in practice and in competition, and when you’ve had enough of diving – there’s the beach.  You may even catch yourself on TV as the event will be televised by FOX Sports network two weeks after the competition.

With the money you save you could but a new diving board for your pool.  Bring your whole team and you could get all new equipment for your pool.
