Beat the gym in Mossdeep. Then beat team Magma in Space Centre. Go to Stevens house and talk to Steven. He will give you HM 08 Dive
after you beat the mossdeep gym you have to go to the space centre and fight team magma with steven. after you beat them, you go to Stevens house in mossdeep city and he will give you TM 7, dive

you go and deafeat the 7th gym then you go to the space station and deafeat a few magma grunts and team up with steven
It's probebly due to you not completing the event before it. I suggest you go on Youtube and find a walkthough or go on a FAQ.
first, defeat the last team magma member in mt. pyre and talk to the old man in there and you will get a magma emblem and the go to lavaridge town and go up the mountain and you will see a team magma member and fight him and then your in their hideout.
When u get your badge there and go to the space shuttle.Then you talk to Team Magma's boss and Steven will pop out of no where and ask if he can fight with u.
team magma's hideout is in lilycove city go to the magma's grunt that train a wailmer surf up and see for a cave ., if there are no entrance go to the slateport and talk to capt. stern that has an interview , after that he escort you to inside then go , after that go again to the magma's cave and now there you go .
