Everyone knows that Diving is about making as little splash as possible. In February, we are flipping that on its head...

The search for Queensland's top bomb diving talent has begun!

The Q Splash Championships is the only official Australian qualifying event for the 2026 Z Manu World Championships, celebrating the art, energy, and culture of the iconic Manu. The beloved splash bomb dive originating in Aotearoa.

Set against the backdrop of the Gold Coast’s iconic summer, the event will bring together Australia’s top Manu and Bomb Diving talent, Aussie, Kiwi, Pasifika and Māori communities, and a broader audience of families, youth, and urban sports fans for a day of high-energy competition, cultural celebration, and community connection.
