When the trainer returns, he is invited to take part in this play session. After the fun is over the Penguins show off and perform their real Olympic dives. The penguins show off their abilities and perform the high dive from over 80 feet to introduce high diving as an Olympic event. A fire dive is performed for the closing ceremonies.
