FAST FACTS ON DIVING

● In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, diving boards were planks of wood which had coconut matting on the end to reduce slippage.

● The minimum depth of a competition diving pool with divers using a 10m platform is 5m.

● Men and women divers at GC2018 will compete on the 1m and 3m springboards and the daunting 10m platform.
