Is diving one of the events you're interested in seeing at the Pan Am Games? The event will be held at the CIBC Pan Am / Parapan Am Aquatics Centre and Field House. Click here for more detail.

Although we don't know all the Canadian athletes who will be competing yet, the detailed schedule of events has been released. Preliminary session ticket price are $25/$35 while medal sessions are $40/$50. You can buy tickets by clicking here.

This photo shows the seating. The cheaper seats (green) are adjacent to the swimming pool while the more expensive tickets (blue) are adjacent to the diving pool.

The 10m platform is the highest one in the centre of this photo. The 3m springboards are on the far side. The boards near the bottom of this photo (with athletes) are 1m boards which were in use at the Diving Nationals a few weeks ago but are not part of the Pan Am Games.
