There are many ways to learn about the different competitions, and when they are going to be held.

The first source is a local diving club (or facility) in your area. These clubs will hold events and competitions. Just go into the local club in your area and ask for a calendar of competitions. Another source to find out competition dates is online. This will allow you to search for local as well as national competitions which you might be interested in. It will give you deadline dates to enter and the fees which must be paid. Either of these sources will give you lists of competitions available to you. Competing against other divers is the best way to really improve your capabilities.
