Gerry Dunn

Dunn joined the Hoya staff in August 2022 to serve as the team's diving coach.

He came to Georgetown from USA Diving where he was Chairman of the National Masters Diving program. Dunn is a certified Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA) Technical Official and continues to serve as a diving official for FINA, Big Ten and NCAA Championships. He served on the Board of Directors of USA Diving and currently is a serving member of USA Diving’s Board of Review.

At the international level, Dunn was the coach of record for USA Diving during International Masters events such as the Pan-American Masters Games (2022) and the FINA World Masters Championships (2017, 2019). The 62-year-old still competes internationally, currently holding the FINA World Championship in the 3-meter synchronized diving with his partner Kelly Winterbottom of DIVELAB in the 50 and older competition. He is also a dual citizen of Ireland and became the oldest senior competitor at the Irish Open Diving Championships in 2018.

The Maryland native is no stranger to the BIG EAST as his daughter Bridie dived for Villanova, where she holds school records in both springboard events, was a three-time BIG EAST champion and earned 2019 Diver of the Year. Dunn also spent four years on the deck at the BIG EAST Championships, covering this event as a reporter.

Dunn graduated from St. Bonaventure University in 1983 where he held school records in both springboard events. 

The newest Hoya has been affiliated with the Montgomery Dive Club in Rockville, Maryland for its Masters diving program over the last six years.
