OH Sharks Dive Team
The Orange Hunt Swim Club Dive Team has been a part of NVSL Dive since 1993.
For the 2026 Season, the OHSTC Sharks are competing in Division VI.
For the 2024 season, the OH Sharks competed in Division 8, where we finished the season with a 4-1 record and secured a spot as Division Champions! For the 2025 season, the OH Sharks competed in Division 7 where we again finished the season with a 4-1 record and were again Division Champions!
Our dive team includes divers of all ability levels - from beginning divers to high school varsity divers. We welcome anyone who loves diving (or wants to learn) to join our team! As a summer recreational program, our focus is having fun, learning new skills and being part of a team.
NVSL Rules allow divers from pools who do not have Dive programs to dive on our team during the summer season. We welcome any aspiring diver who is a member of an NVSL member pool to join our team!
