The Sims 4: Adventure Awaits introduces new skills and abilities, including a diving skill linked to two new diving boards. This is a five-level skill that lets your Sims become expert divers.
The diving skill includes existing dives from the current diving platform and adds new options. It is now separate from the fitness skill, although fitness continues to grow gradually while diving. Here’s what you need to know about the diving skill.
How is the diving skill different from the fitness skill?
Currently, there’s a small diving platform in the game where Sims can perform four types of dives: swan dive, cannonball, backflip, and jump. Doing a dive increases the fitness skill slowly. Sims with low fitness have a higher chance of failing a dive and belly-flopping, which can give them a temporary unpleasant debuff.
Adventure Awaits keeps that slow fitness progress but also allows Sims to develop their diving skills by diving off either the existing platform or the two new boards—one tall and one short. Both boards offer the same options, so you can pick whichever looks best for your pool.
How to Maximize the Diving Skill
The diving skill has only five levels and can be quickly improved by having your Sim practice diving. Just select “Practice Diving,” and your Sim will perform a series of random dives automatically, often doing several dives in a row.
Tip: When starting out, watch for debuffs like embarrassment or discomfort from belly flops. But don’t worry—they become less frequent as the skill improves and dives become more successful.
You can also choose specific dives to perform deliberately or even belly flop intentionally if you wish. Each skill level unlocks new dive options, detailed below.
Level One
You can practice diving or select from existing dives like backflip, swan dive, jump, cannonball, or belly flop.

Level Two
Unlocks the Lounger Jump, where your Sim leaps high and poses as if leaning on a chair before rolling into a dive.

Level Three
This level introduces the Reverse Pike, where your Sim runs and jumps high enough to touch their toes above the board before diving.

Level Four
Unlocks the Front Pike Flip, where your Sim jumps high, curls into a ball, performs a somersault, and dives feet first into the pool.

Level Five
The final level enables the Front Twister Flip: your Sim jumps, twists in midair, and lands feet first with a straight body.

Tip: Improving the diving skill is fastest using the new boards and the practice diving interaction. You cannot access this from the old platform. Once your Sim’s skill is maxed out, failures mainly occur if they’re already uncomfortable, and they can also share diving tips with others.
