Hi Gary. I grew up wanting to jump off the diving board and when ever I was at the pool that's where I spent my time. Joined the diving team in high school and had a blast doing it. Unfortunately the only time I was able to dive 3m, 5m, or 7m was when I went to some summer diving camps. Those terrified me, but by the end of the week I loved diving on the 3m boards. Unfortunately I had to quit because I dislocated my hip during a diving practice my senior year. I was attempting a reverse 2.5(1m) during practice came out too early and when my legs hit the water my hip popped out. Actually took me a couple years to recover from and really haven't been on a board since. I don't really have a question, just good luck, be safe, and enjoy it.
