Dave Burgering is a US Olympic team diver, Fort Lauderdale dive team diving director, and head coach.

He was part of the US team selected for the 1980 Olympic Games.

However, he was unable to compete that year because the United States led a boycott of the Olympics in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

[2] Burgering started diving in 1967 and finished his career in 1984.

He then coached in Boca Raton, Florida for the Mission Bay Makos, where his team beat his former team by one point in the national championship.
