A NIGHT OF STARS

🎶 Celebrating Our Greatest Hits Through Time 🎶

Diving Queensland is excited to announce our 2026 Gala Dinner and Annual Awards Evening, and this year, we're taking you on a trip through the Greatest Hits Through Time!

From the songs we grew up with, the classics we still love and the anthems that get everyone singing, this year's Gala is all about celebrating the greatest hits, both on the dance floor and within our Queensland diving community.

We’re also hoping to hear from some of Queensland’s greatest diving athletes through the years, sharing memories, stories and highlights from their time in the sport. It will be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate not only where we are today, but the people and moments that have helped get us here.

Join us for a fun and glamorous evening as we celebrate the incredible achievements of our athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, clubs and supporters, while enjoying some of the greatest hits of our own.
