There are five Diving Board Challenges in Tchia, and some players will undoubtedly be interested in earning a gold trophy at each one of them. While that is not an extremely difficult thing to do, there is very little in-game information about diving. This may leave some fans confused about how to even perform a dive in Tchia, and this guide is here to alleviate that confusion and provide details on how to rack up challenge points.
Tchia: How to Dive
In order to perform a dive in Tchia, players must simply hold R2 as they jump toward water and then use the right joystick to select options from the radial menu that appears. Indeed, while R2 will pull up an emote radial menu when Tchia is on the ground, that menu is replaced with a diving tricks menu when she is airborne. For full clarity, those tricks allow the titular protagonist to spin and flip as she plummets toward the water, and fans of open-world indie games can have some fun stringing these moves together.

Players should now be able to engage with the Tchia's Diving Board Challenges, though they may still struggle to reach the point requirements associated with the gold trophies. For those fans of PlayStation console exclusives that are having some trouble accumulating the requisite number of points, here is a simple strategy that should prove effective:
- Hold R2 and jump off the end of the Diving Board.
- Hold up on the right joystick until a "Frontflip" has been performed.
- Hold right on the right joystick until a "Spin" has been performed.
- Hold down on the right joystick until a "Backflip" has been performed.
- Position Tchia so that her feet or head are pointed downward and then release R2.
If executed properly, these actions will result in a Combo and Clean Entry bonus, which should give players enough points to claim the gold trophy. Notably, if a fan has an unsatisfactory dive, they can simply opt to retry the Diving Board Challenge from the pause menu. This is a very nice feature, as it means that players need not climb, or use Tchia's Soul-Jump, to make repeat attempts.
To note, Diving Board Challenges are certainly not the only ways by which players can earn gold trophies. Indeed, there are also Races and Shooting Range Challenges, which fans can make appear on the in-game map by shouting from the Points of View that overlook Tchia's New Caledonia-inspired world.
Tchia is available on PC, PS4, and PS5.
