Did you know that professional dog diving is a thing that is real? It is!

Dogs who dive are called ‘Dock Dogs.’ These pups compete in dozens of events to show off their mad pool skillz.

While being a Dock Dog is serious business, it’s also seriously adorable. These pups look like they’re flying as high as a frisbee when they jump in for their dive.

It’s pretty epic. We gathered up our favorite Dock Dog moments in 17 magical gifs. (We included a few amateurs for extra LOLZ.)

1. Ok. There is no way this dog is not attached to a wire. Seriously.
