The Professional Diving Coaches Association (PDCA) is a non-profit incorporated organization founded by Ron O’ Brien, Steve McFarland and Scott Pyle in January of 1983. Its purpose is to support diving coaches in their efforts to hone their coaching skills, develop world class athletes and grow the sport. In the early 2000’s the organization drifted into obscurity. Now it has reemerged under new leadership, new ideas, and new technology to reaffirm its support of diving coaches across the country.
