DIVING

Oliver Dingley was a bit of a wild child growing up. He use to launch himself of anything and everything. Having struggled at school, he came across diving and took up the sport. Not only was diving a hobby, it also became an outlet where he could thrive. Ollie’s first Irish sporting memories was the 2000 Olympics and the 2002 World Cup. Ollie began to dream of becoming an Olympian and in 2016, he became the first Irish diver to go the Olympics in 68 years where he became Ireland’s first Diving Olympic Finalist.
