Sport Specific Information
Why this sport?
 "I entered the world of diving almost by accident at age five. I was attending a swimming course and at the end of each workout they made us jump into the water in a life jacket. I was the only one who jumped higher and higher without fear. At age five, I showed skills in diving but not in swimming. So my swimming coach took my hand and we went to the water space dedicated to diving. From that moment on I never attended a swimming lesson."
Name of coach
 Oscar Bertone [national], ITA; Dario Scola
