Divers must be at least 8 years old, Kunig said, and have the proper paperwork to prove they are qualified without medical conditions.
The event will run from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday. Anyone who wishes to attend should contact Splash Water Sports at 412-531-5677 to register. Kunig said divers can also register the day of the event as long as their paperwork is already completed.
