Hallensteins Aussie Manu Champs
5 - 7 Feb 2027
Welcome to the Hallensteins Aussie Manu Champs!
We are stoked to present the Hallensteins Aussie Manu Champs on the Gold Coast!
Hallensteins Aussie Manu Champs is happening at the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre on the 5 – 7 February (Waitangi Day weekend!), hosted by Diving Queensland and Gold Coast Diving Academy.
We will be scouting for 4 finalists (Adult Male, Adult Female, Youth Male, Youth Female) to fly to the Grand Final at the Viaduct Harbour, Auckland, on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 April 2027. Flights, two nights’ accommodation, and $250 spending money included! (and for the Youth category, we will fly a parent or guardian to come watch you compete in the final as well!).
Plus, we will be holding Manu training at pools across the Gold Coast and South East Queensland to help you perfect your bomb dives before the main event!
It is going to be a day of big splash, and bigger vibes!
