0:28:05 > 0:28:08This is Blue Peter, but mini.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Expect epic adventures, makes, bakes,
0:28:11 > 0:28:14badges, pets, presenters and your host.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19We've only got five minutes, so get ready for your Blue Peter adventure.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22MUSIC: Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor
0:28:32 > 0:28:36OK, so not the greatest dive in the world, and it's pretty fair to
0:28:36 > 0:28:39say I'm not nearly ready to dive off a board that high.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44But I do know someone who is.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47This brave young man is Matthew Dixon.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50He's won 19 diving medals in various national competitions
0:28:50 > 0:28:54and, at just 14 years old, he's already earned a spot on the
0:28:54 > 0:28:58England team, making his debut at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Watch out, Tom Daley, Matthew's hot on your heels.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04I really am scared about doing anything headfirst.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06It's just...argh!
0:29:06 > 0:29:07It doesn't make sense to me.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Do you have any tips on how I should possibly handle that?
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Basically, you just have to hold your nerve,
0:29:12 > 0:29:15start from the lower boards, gradually build up the height.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19Keep nice and tight and try not to land on your belly.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23I think that might happen, you know.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26To avoid any more bad diving from me,
0:29:26 > 0:29:29I'll be trained by Andy, one of Matthew's coaches.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33And first up is the one metre platform.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37Hands grabbed, bend right down. Squeeze those ears tight,
0:29:37 > 0:29:40look towards the blue line there. Onto your toes first.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Fall and stretch.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45That's great, I couldn't have asked for it any better than that.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Time to tackle the three metre dive.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48Hands grabbed, arms out.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Get those arms up a little bit
0:29:50 > 0:29:53so you're stretching towards the middle there. Onto your toes.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Fall and stretch.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Almost perfect, but you just had the legs doing this.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03HE LAUGHS
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- I'll take it though. - Legs nice together.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08It landed the right way up, but it didn't hurt.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10It was a good dive.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Five metres, here I come.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16This one's a bit higher, so Matthew showed me how it's done.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Oh, hang on a minute.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21This is much higher than I thought.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27You've just got to do more to build up your confidence.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36That's great.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Every single one of these dives is a challenge,
0:30:38 > 0:30:40every single one of them.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45And now it's time for the next level.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Matthew takes me up to the seven and a half metre platform.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Oh, my goodness gracious.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Suddenly, disaster strikes -
0:30:54 > 0:30:56I've lost all my confidence,
0:30:56 > 0:30:58and the fear's really taken over.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01Have you seen how high this is?
0:31:03 > 0:31:06That's the whole idea of diving, just to overcome your fears.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08I think I might have met my match.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10My confidence is knocked,
0:31:10 > 0:31:13but I just have to see how scary the ten metre platform is.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15I can't get over this.
0:31:15 > 0:31:16Headfirst off this.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Matthew, how are you so comfortable up here?
0:31:21 > 0:31:24You're smiling, you're close to the edge. How?
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Basically, you can stand forwards...
0:31:29 > 0:31:34..you can stand backwards, and then you just take off.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Whoa!
0:31:38 > 0:31:39Did you see that?
0:31:39 > 0:31:42How am I ever going to jump off here?
0:31:42 > 0:31:45I need to sleep on this and come back tomorrow.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Yesterday was such a rollercoaster for me.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51I had the most brilliant highs, but equally, the most frustrating lows
0:31:51 > 0:31:55and I just can't see how I'm going to get higher than five metres.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59But, Matthew and Andy might have just come up with a solution.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02We've got a new idea and I like doing it because it's really fun
0:32:02 > 0:32:04and it's called the sitting-back summy.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06It's just a little bit scary
0:32:06 > 0:32:09because you're going to be going off backwards.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Andy's also got another trick up his sleeve - the bubble machine.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16It breaks up the surface tension of the water so the dive doesn't
0:32:16 > 0:32:19sting as much, which makes it a little bit less scary too.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Rock forwards and big pull.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Yes, we're in business.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35By working my way up each level, I think my confidence is coming back.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40I saw the bubbles.
0:32:40 > 0:32:41Yes.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46OK. It's now or never.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Ten metres, here I come.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Let me just get this straight.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58You and I are going to go off this together?
0:32:58 > 0:32:59Yeah, synchronised.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- We've just got to do it, don't we?- Yep.- OK.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- Ready?- As ready as I'll ever be.
0:33:06 > 0:33:07Right, let's go.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10You can do this.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Ready. One.
0:33:13 > 0:33:14Two.
0:33:14 > 0:33:15Three.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16Go.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Yes!
0:33:23 > 0:33:24I did it!
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Matthew, yes! Oh, that was good.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32And here it is one last time.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Join in every Thursday at CBBC.
