Rachel Kealaonapua "Keala" O'Sullivan (later Watson, born November 3, 1950) is an American former diver. In 1965, she won the U.S. Junior AAU one-meter board diving championships.[1] She represented the United States at the 1968 Olympics, where she earned a bronze medal in three-meter springboard; this made her the first Hawaiian athlete to medal in diving.[2]
O'Sullivan retired after failing to qualify for the 1972 Olympics. She then returned to Hawaii, where she coached divers at ʻIolani School.[3] In 1999, she was inducted into the Hawaii Sports Hall of Fame.[4]
