Inter-county
The Diver struggled to make the panel of 24 players while a Derry Minor in 2000. Derry won that year's Ulster Minor Championship and Diver made a late substitute appearance in the All-Ireland Minor semi-final against Cork. That game was shrouded in controversy, because a Cork player who was sent-off did not leave the field of play. He didn't play Under 21 football with Derry as he was traveling in the United States.
Diver was first called up to the Derry Senior football panel in November 2005 for the 2006 season by Paddy Crozier. He made his competitive Derry debut on 8 January 2006 against Monaghan in the 2006 Dr. McKenna Cup. His Championship debut came that year in a six-point victory over Tyrone at the age of 24.
He was part of the Derry team that won the 2008 National League where Derry beat Kerry in the final.
Joe played at midfiled on the derry team that reached the 2011 Ulster Senior championship final, and was made Vice Captain of Derry for 2012 season.
