Diving is a minor sport in India. Diving in India is administered by the Swimming Federation of India.

Two Arjuna awardees, Bajrangi Prasad (1961) and Manjari Bhargava (1974) together with the Swimming Federation of India and the Army Sports Institute are working to uplift the sport in India.[1] Gymnast-turned-diver Medali Redkar won gold in the 1m spring board contest at the National Games in Rajkot in October 2022.[2]

The Army Sports Institute in Pune has taken the initiative to develop young athletes into divers.[3] India's current international divers, Hemam London Singh and Siddharth Pardeshi are both proteges of the ASI.
