Analysis Tools

Whether you're coaching a national team or running a high school team on a tight budget, video feedback tools can make a massive difference in learning and performance. Here are some of the most widely used options in the diving world right now: 

• Tivo
  Used by elite collegiate and national teams, TiVo systems allow for instant replay of dives with high-quality slow motion. Coaches can tag clips, review from multiple angles, and quickly rewind without interrupting practice flow. 

• Dartfish
  Used by national and Olympic-level programs, Dartfish allows for slow-motion playback, side-by-side video comparisons, and detailed angle and movement analysis.

• Hudl Technique (formerly Ubersense)
  A mobile-friendly video app that makes it easy to review dives in slow motion, draw on the screen, and share feedback clips between coaches and athletes.

• Kinovea
  A free desktop video analysis tool perfect for programs on a budget. Offers angle measurement, stopwatch tools, and frame-by-frame breakdown.

• Video Delay Apps
  Tools like ReplayIt, OnForm, or setups using OBS allow divers to watch their own dives back with a delay, great for immediate visual feedback between reps.

• Underwater and Overhead Camera Systems
  GoPro cameras, SwimPro systems, or custom rigged setups are used to capture entries, lines, and body position from unique angles not visible on deck.

• Line-Up Mirrors and Mirror Carts
  Common in dryland areas, these give athletes a chance to rehearse and visualize clean lines, posture, and arm placement during line-ups or walk-throughs.

Other Tools Still Widely Used:

• iPads or smartphones with tripod mounts

• Whiteboards for sketching corrections mid-practice or writing workouts

• Apps for tracking skill progress or dive logs
