Diving In is a 1990 American film directed by former music video director Strathford Hamilton, starring Matt Adler and Kristy Swanson.
Famed Indiana University diving coach Hobie Billingsley makes a cameo appearance during the final competition scene.
Causing more complications in his life are school bullies, his critical parents, and an adversarial coach who prefers rival athlete Jerome, who is fawned over by girls including Wayne's rebellious, heavy-drinking sister Terry.
These included the Orlando Sentinel,;[1] the Philadelphia Inquirer, which compared it unfavorably to other sports films like Rocky;[4] and The Indianapolis News, which said it "makes diving as exciting as taped highlights of deliberations of UNESCO's Full Committee on the Standardization of Dry Measurements and Weights.
"[2] Both the Inquirer and The Indianapolis News reviewers noted the fact that diving is a solo sport and argued that the film's treatment of it lacked drama.
